I Propose A Toast!

About The Birthday Party

Stanley Webber is the only resident at Meg's hostel, but the peace is disturbed when strangers Goldberg and McCann arrive. The calm soon turns into chaos when a seemingly innocent birthday party turns into a living nightmare. Truth and alliances promptly shift in this brilliant dark-comic masterpiece about the ludicrous terrors of the everyday.

The production marks the 60th Anniversary of the play (aptly-named I'd say!), which originally opened in Cambridge in 1958 and later that same year it transferred to London. The play is often referred to as a "Comedy of Menace" and was made into a film in 1968 by William Friedkin.
