BALDWIN PLAYERS TO PERFORM NOVEMBER 7 - 9

The Baldwin Players of Abraham Baldwin College will present the play “The Birthday Party” by Harold Pinter on Nov. 7 - 9 in Room 319 in Conger Hall on the ABAC campus.

Showtime is at 7:30 p.m. each night. General admission is $5. There is no charge for ABAC faculty, staff, and students. The play is for a mature audience--generally theatregoers of high school age or above.

The cast includes Anna K. Pittman of Pitts as LuLu, Kati Wheeler of Tifton as Meg, Jacques Le Cour of Schannock, R.I., as McCann, J. L. Stewart of Nashville as Goldberg, David Charles Thompson of Winder as Stanley, and Brock Gallops of Columbus as Petey. The Assistant Director/Stage Manager is Paula E. Teague of Ellijay.

A drama with dark and sometimes comedic overtones, “The Birthday Party” is about a musician who escapes to a dilapidated boarding house, where he falls victim to the shadowy, ritualized violence of two men who have followed him from his sinister past.

Pinter is considered one of the most important playwrights in the English language. “The Birthday Party” was first staged in London in 1958. Pinter then went on to write such plays as “The Homecoming,” “The Caretaker,” “The Dumb Waiter,” and “Betrayal,” already classics of the modern theatre.
