A seemingly harmless situation results in the unthinkable because of its characters. Fearful individuals, isolated from the world in a confined space, unhappy but safe. Until something or someone comes along and shakes their hole and poses a threat. The birthday puts on stage individuals suffocated by repression, often not even aware of their condition, indeed convinced that they are in fact totally free men. Composed in 1957, it remains one of the most representative texts of the theatrical expression of Harold Pinter, brilliant playwright Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005.

The 63 years that have passed since the creation of Harold Pinter’s “Birthday” have not removed anything of its enigmatic and disturbing effect.
A loser with a not very clear past is reached by this past, put under terror and with force changed in a man who strictly follows the strict rules of everyday life. The atmosphere of a continuous threat never ceases – as in the life of all of us – to dominate any action, The question: who are we? To which not
We can never answer because a false or dark memory is mixed with our desire to put us on stage, is at the center of this horror birthday.
