IT’S party time at Leamington’s Loft Theatre.
Harold Pinter classic The Birthday Party, directed by Craig Shelton runs from October 26 to November 5.
Stanley Webber is the only lodger at Meg and Petey Boles’ sleepy seaside boarding house. The unsettling arrival of enigmatic strangers Goldberg and McCann disrupts the humdrum lives of the inhabitants and their friend Lulu and mundanity soon becomes menace when a seemingly innocent birthday party turns into a disturbing nightmare.
Truth and alliances hastily shift in Pinter’s mysterious darkly-comic masterpiece about the absurd terrors of the everyday and one that still manages with ease to chime with the times.
