Do you mean the play "The Birthday Party", by Harold Pinter? Or when he was born? Anyway, you can find everything you want to know by just checking Britannica Concise Encyclopedia.
a sense of danger and menace, long pauses which make the audience uncomfortable.
That's a brilliant question! If you are referrring to the Harold Pinter one-act play, one of the themes will almost certainly relate to the problem of non-communication. Even part of the title suggests this - "Dumb." Pinter once said that one of the greatest problems facing modern man is related to communication - people either UNABLE to communicate or are UNWILLING to communicate. What is the case in this play? (There is a communication problem between the two killers and the man waiting for their arrival...)
â??The Roomâ?? by Harold Pinter is a play that delivers a story about a claustrophobic relationship between a couple. Once their apartment has been invaded by others, the intensity of the story accelerates, rapidly leading all the characters to an unusual climax which ultimately ends in tragedy.
The play you're referring to is likely "The Birthday Party" by Harold Pinter. In this work, the character Lulu, the daughter of a strict father, famously refuses to eat fish, symbolizing her rebellion against authority and expectations. The act of refusing the meal serves as a pivotal moment that highlights themes of control and defiance within the narrative.
Rosemary and George Colonel are characters in the play "The Birthday Party" by Harold Pinter. Rosemary is a young woman who becomes involved with the protagonist, Stanley Webber, while George Colonel is one of the two mysterious intruders who disrupt Stanley's life. Their relationship is primarily defined by the plot's tension and conflict, as both characters interact with Stanley and contribute to the play's themes of power and identity.
Absurdity plays alongside convention in The Birthday Party. Pinter sets his play and its characters in a humble seaside boarding house, with the characters acting out regular routines like eating corn flakes and reading the morning paper. The twists that arise during the play, which is rich in comedy, wind up revealing chaos, deceit, and insanity, all of these being absurdities amid the pleasant, normal setting.
It was first performed in 1960. The only problem, as with many of Pinter's plays is that precisely "when" it is set remains unclear - but then that's the point (at least partly) Though Pinter isn't entirely an "absurdist" writer, he does seek not to provide too much context. Much of the appeal of the text is that it raises as many questions as it answers and leaves the audience to work out the nature of relationships. There are some uses of language or cultural references which make the play feel dated, but beyond that, it is possible to be quite open-ended with particular production ideas.
