NOW PLAYING THE BIRTHDAY PARTY  Stanley Webber, a retired pianist, is leading a quiet life in a seaside boarding house until two strangers roll into town. Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter seems to be on everyone’s minds in these politically charged days, from Mary Arrchie’s acclaimed revival of The Caretaker to the Broadway blockbuster revival of The Homecoming. Experience how it all began as Signal Ensemble Theatre brings Pinter’s first full-length play, The Birthday Party, to the Chopin stage. » More info What the critics are saying about The Birthday Party“Aaron Snook’s intelligent and pitiless staging for Signal Ensemble clues us in early on, and never lets us off the hook.” “Snook and his precision-tuned cast of six handles its very tricky landscape with exceptional finesse, illuminating several passages that even the most devoted Pinter fan might have missed in earlier productions.” “This entertaining and worthwhile revival stands out as a vehicle for some great performances and a showcase for Pinter’s theatrical language.” “Director Snook’s well-managed, disturbingly funny revival conveys the proper sense of benighted dread, thanks in large part to Stearns, who makes clear the oppressive weight of Stanley’s burden without the benefit of being able to name it.” “Teasing and provoking, eliciting laughter and gasps, the menace is still there. Signal Ensemble Theatre’s strong production shows that, fifty years after its first production, Harold Pinter’s “The Birthday Party” has not lost its power to unsettle nor its bizarre humor.” “A chance to savor Pinter’s menacing ambiguity in an intimate space with a talented cast.” Running at the Chopin until August 30, 2008
