Born in 1930, Pinter wrote 29 plays for the theatre and 27screenplays for the cinema, as well as many radio and television plays. One of his best-known plays is The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party, the first full-length play Pinter wrote, had its world premiere at the Arts Theatre, in Cambridge, England, on the 28th of April 1958. Although the play was initially well received, when it opened in London a few weeks later on the 19th of May, it was a commercial and critical failure, closing after only eight performances. However, a few days later, one of the country's most famous critics wrote extremely positively about the play in a Sunday newspaper, helping to make it one of the most famous plays ever.The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, a piano player in his 30s, who lives in an English seaside town, not too far from London. Two strangers, Goldberg and McCann, arrive on his birthday, turning his birthday party into a nightmare. Harold Pinter presented a special anniversary performance of the play at London's Lyric Theatre on the 19th of May 2008, exactly 50 years after its London Premiere. Pinter died later the same year on the24th of December.
