Harold Pinter Plays: The Birthday Party & The Room - Classic Theater Drama for Stage Performances & Literature Study

I have seen "The Birthday Party" three times in three different productions and love the writing so much i had to have it. Pinter is one of those few playwrights who reward re-reading as well as re-viewing. The characters leap off the page. Like many of this master's plays it is a magnificent blend of the comic and the somber. For those who have not been able to catch the play on the stage or screen, if you enjoy modern drama you will most certainly enjoy this play. As for "The Room" is an apprentice piece - not at all bad, but Pinter had not fully come into his own at the time he wrote it. If you enjoy "The Birthday Party" be certain to also purchase his masterpiece "The Homecoming". Happy reading.
