who wrote the birthday party

[Golem]

It's a play by Harold Pinter

[incitatus]

Needless to say no-one remembers who the critics were at all.

I remember seeing a production of The Caretaker in the 80s. It was so bad that had it been the FIRST production, it would never have been seen again. He writes in such a particular way that it's easy as a director or an actor to **** it up completely and make him look a terrible writer. And some still think he is just that.
