The Birthday Party presented by Praxis Stage

Praxis Stage's The Birthday Party, directed by James Wilkinson, Runs April 11 through April 28.

At a boarding house in a seaside town, two men have arrived to carry out a job. Where they have come from is unknown. Their methods are unconventional. Why they are doing this job at all appears to be their own concern. But there is a resident at this boarding house who must be interrogated and they will not be deterred from carrying out their duties. The residents of this boarding house and their guests may not know it yet, but a simple celebration is about to morph into anything but.

By turns unsettling, thrilling, and darkly comic, Harold Pinters The Birthday Party brilliantly explores the sinister aspects of human interaction. In his hands, an ordinary living room becomes a gladiatorial arena where subtle shifts in power dynamics can mean life or death consequences for his characters. Praxis Stage is proud to present an examination of what we choose to see, what we choose to accept, and how we choose to fight.
