The day after The Birthday Party opened, Pinter was so deflated he threatened to quit theatre entirely, but the following week, reading Hobson’s review bowled Pinter over, and he was inspired to go on to have an illustrious career.

It was reviews like this that are said to have saved Pinter’s theatrical career. The Sunday Times’ Harold Hobson said: “I am willing to risk whatever reputation I have as a judge of plays by saying that The Birthday Party is not a Fourth, not even a Second, but a First and that Pinter, on the evidence of his work, possesses the most original, disturbing and arresting talent in theatrical London.” Despite closing after eight performances, the show received a great reception from some critics. The Birthday Party was first performed in London in at the Lyric Opera House – which is now the Lyric Hammersmith – in 1958. On the day of Stanley’s birthday, two ominous strangers arrive looking for him, and ruin his otherwise eventless party.

The play focuses on Stanley Webber, a piano player who lives in a neglected house in an English seaside town run by Petey and Meg Bowles, a couple in their sixties. Harold Pinter’s second full-length play, The Birthday Party, is one of the playwright’s most performed plays.
