by David K. Barnes 

dir. Alice Malin 

pluck.'s production of BIRTHDAY SUIT by David K. Barnes was directed by Alice Malin and 

played at the Old Red Lion for four weeks in 2017.

It was nominated for three OFFIES, including Best New Play. 

‘Alan Ayckbourn for millennials’, ‘a sparky evening, stylishly delivered’ 

- Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

‘Strong performances make this production zing — the young foursome pop with the vitality of Barnes’s dialogue’.  ‘Barnes’s comedy also recalls Neil LaBute at his best.’ 

- Kate Maltby, The Times  

‘This contemporary drawing room comedy by David K Barnes…is properly funny. Birthday Suit is a mercilessly tense piece of writing that clashes Noel Coward with Edward Albee to

quite profound effect.’  

★★★★ - The Stage 

 ★★★★ - Broadway World // ★★★★ - West End Wilma // ★★★★ - LondonTheatre1
