en-wikipedia-org-3905		The Birthday Party (play) - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	6401	602	76	The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, an erstwhile piano player who lives in a rundown boarding house run by Meg and Petey Boles, in an English seaside town, "probably on the south coast, not too far from London".[4][5] Two sinister strangers, Goldberg and McCann, arrive looking for him, supposedly on his birthday, and turn his apparently innocuous birthday party organised by Meg into a nightmare. The Lyric celebrated the play's 50th anniversary with a revival, directed by artistic director David Farr, and related events from 8 to 24 May 2008, including a gala performance and reception hosted by Harold Pinter on 19 May 2008, exactly fifty years after its London première.[11][15][18][19] Lulu is a woman in her twenties whom Stanley "tries vainly to rape" (Billington, Harold Pinter 112) during the titular birthday party at the end of Act II. ^ The Birthday Party (CSC), in "Plays", at haroldpinter.org, Harold Pinter, 2000–[2008], Web, 18 May 2008.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3905.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3905.txt
