The Birthday Party, "Even in his
first full-length play, The Birthday Party, Harold Pinter's agile
genius for digging into seemingly ordinary (but of course, not
really) lives in a dilapidated boarding house in a 50's English
seaside resort is exemplary. As is de rigueur for attending a
Pinter play, one should be prepared for the almost hallucinatory
shifts that he executes wtih such efflortless expertise"
Barbara Stewa
Ashes to Ashes, "Written
in 1996 and first performed in 1993, this intense little two-hander
with almost no physical action is imbued with all the sinister
menace one expects from a Harold Pinter script", "the
dialogue unwinds in concentric circles" Janice Sawka.
