"The Birthday Party", Socialist Worker, Socialist Worker, 10 May 2008, World Wide Web, 9 May 2008: "[The Birthday Party] centres around Stanley Webber, a mysterious man who claims to be a piano player..He is visited in the boarding house he now lives in by two sinister characters, Goldberg and McCann, who are looking for a "certain person"...A birthday party for Stanley turns into a terrible experience...The play received poor reviews when it first opened, but today The Birthday Party is rightly recognised as a classic."
