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.

On Saturday, August 2, one of Harold Pinter’s favorite charities, Amnesty International, will receive $5 from every ticket sold.
