Schull Drama Group Present
' The Birthday Party'
This is a 3 Act Play under the direction of Edmund Krugel.Performance dates are as follows;
VENUE: Schull Parish Hall TIME: 8 PM
Sat Feb 18, Sun Feb 19, Sat Feb 25 and Sun Feb 26
*The Birthday Party* is about Stanley Webber, an erstwhile piano player in his 30s, who lives in a rundown boarding house, run by Meg and Petey Boles, in an English seaside town, "probably on the south coast, not too far from London" Two sinister strangers, Goldberg and McCann, who arrive supposedly on his birthday and who appear to have come looking for him, turn Stanley's apparently innocuous birthday party organized by Meg into a nightmare.
According to Pinter's official biographer, Michael Billington,
*The Birthday Party* is "a deeply political play about the individual's imperative need for resistance,"yet, according to Billington, though he "doubts whether this was conscious on Pinter's part," it is also "a private, obsessive work about time past; about some vanished world, either real or idealised, into which all but one of the characters readily escapes. ... From the very outset, the defining quality of a Pinter play is not so much fear and menace –– though they are undoubtedly present –– as a yearning for some lost Eden as a refuge from the uncertain, miasmic present" .
The play will tour and has confirmed to compete in Charleville, Rossmore and New Ross.
Spread the word, this promises to be a great show.
The Schull Drama Group is busy as always with other exciting projects to be announced shortly.
