Celebration and One for the Road

Two Plays by Harold Pinter May 2008

Celebration and One for the Road Poster

Celebration is set in a smart London restaurant where a pair of cor-blimey East End wide-boys and their wives are drunkenly celebrating a wedding anniversary. At the next table, a shady investment broker is dining with his wife, to whom he has just confessed a fling with his secretary. The goings-on abound in insults and surprising revelations as the two groups merge and the play reaches its drunken climax with the restaurant staff joining in the fun. At its premiere in March 2000, the audience “literally bellowed with laughter.”

One for the Road is a much darker, but award-winning play about an inquisitor and the family he victimizes. It was premiered in 1984. “A disturbing and brilliantly controlled little masterpiece of a play” Spectator

This production, by the Pump House Theatre Company, was a multi-award winner at the 2004 South West Herts Drama Festival.
