Party Time

Gavin, a wealthy and influential civil servant, is hosting a drinks party. The conversation is of health clubs, foreign travel and bed-hopping. However, there is civil unrest beyond the doors of this elite gathering, roadblocks and soldiers litter the streets – and what on earth has happened to Jimmy? Comic and chilling, Harold Pinter’s vicious political satire is a stark exposé of class, power and social injustice in modern Britain. “Seeing Party Time performed by MCS Drama is a thrilling experience. This rarely-seen play is here given all the right mixture of humour (at times it is very, very funny) and menace – You don’t know whether to laugh or shudder” (Lady Antonia Fraser Pinter) “Infinitely enriching … a paradigm of how theatre should be.” (Adrian Noble on MCS Drama’s The Critic)
