First Look: Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party

Images have been released of the West End revival Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party.

Pinter’s comedy of menace features an all-star cast including Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Play What I Wrote, Sherlock), Stephen Mangan (The Norman Conquests, Jeeves and Wooster, Episodes),  Zoë Wanamaker (Harlequinade, Passion Play, My Family), Pearl Mackie (BBC series Doctor Who), Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (All My Sons, Peaky Blinders, The Infiltrator) and Peter Wight (Hamlet, Electra, Atonement).

Directed by Ian Ian Rickson, The Birthday Party is Pinter’s brilliantly mysterious dark-comic masterpiece about the absurd terrors of the everyday.
