Event Information
By Harold Pinter
Performed by BA (Hons) Acting
Designed & produced by BA (Hons) Theatre Practice
Party Time is a scathing and amusing attack on the increasingly powerful and narcissistic super rich, set against the backdrop of terrifying state oppression.
This highly pertinent play is paired with Pinter’s final work, Celebration, a delicious comedy about the vulgarity and materialism of the nouveau riche.
Set in an exclusively chic restaurant, these two social satires ominously and presciently chime with our times.
This production mentions topics of domestic and sexual abuse (rape), sexual kink, violence, death, mass murder, sexualised and explicit language, transphobia and alcohol.
By arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. On behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
