Drama at Dauntsey's

L6 practical Exams:

"The Birthday Party"

By Harold Pinter

Date: May 2006

Venue: Annabel's Studio


A shabby boarding house is the setting for this story of confrontations between past and present and between delusion and reality. Many levels of violence are portrayed, emotional and physical, suppressed and overt. As is the case with many works by this author, the play's over-arching theme relates to the idea that nothing, and no one, is what or who they seem.
