Review:
Mr Pinter, on the evidence of this work, possesses the most original, disturbing and arresting talent in theatrical London. (Harold Hobson Sunday Times)
It combines the structure of a rep thriller with the guilt mechanisms of Kafka's The Trial ... Pinter's enduring, ultimately undefinable play, which left the critics floundering in 1958, has the power of all first-rate art to acknowledge the past and reflect the future while existing in the tangible present. (Michael Billington Guardian)

The Birthday Party is the second play by Harold Pinter, initially confounding critics in the 1950s, the play explores the fluidity of time, place and identity and quickly became a celebrated modern classic.
