Celebration and The Room

Harold Pinter’s first (The Room) and his most recent play (Celebration) complement each other in this riveting double-bill. Celebration opens on a wedding anniversary in an ultra-trendy restaurant, with three successful couples jockeying for the upper hand. In contrast, The Room reveals a shabby one-room London flat and descends into a nightmare world of insecurity and uncertainty. Although separated by more than 40 years, both plays crackle with the human desperation to find safe haven in a threatening world.
