“Party Time”, play of Harold Pinter, it was carried out by “the Almeida Theatre Company” on 31 of October of 1991 in the theatre Almeida, in London.

In this play appear nine personages: Terry, Gavin, Dusty, Melissa, Liz, Charlotte, Fred, Douglas and Jimmy. Terry is a man of some forty years old that he is married with Dusty, a woman of some twenty years old. He seems that he is very friend of Gavin, because this counts to him many things about his life and his infancy; something like that he is golfer and that when he was child was a barber. He is fifty years old. Concerning Melissa, a woman of some seventy years old, she is the one which speaks to all about  it good that it is to belong to the Real Class, because according to her to belong to a tennis and swimming club provides a lot of good things. Liz and Charlotte are two friends that attend to the party; Liz, of some thirty years old, at the beginning appears a little despondent, purportedly due to some man that she wants and who is with other apparently. But Charlotte is to help her, a woman of some thirty years old too; this is the one which attempts to encourage it. The husband of Charlotte expired. Fred and Douglas are too, of forty and fifty years old respectively; it is considered two friends that make the stay in the most agreeable party to Liz (wife of Fred) and to Charlotte. And finally it appears Jimmy (the brother of Dusty), but that in the play has few incidence.

This play consists of a party in the one which all these personages are found, but in the one which, apparently, exist small groups, of more friends. In this party the topic of the that they speak continually is a club of tennis and swimming, the Real Class. According to them the best of all is to belong to this club. Melissa, that is the most it put in this of the club is who is entrusted with saying to all of what it is treat. This is the topic spoken by most of them, though they are other topics thereinafter, but more personal, as for example the death of the husband of Charlotte. Also it is lived a scene in the one which the marriage composed by Fred and Liz are cajoled mutually, before the presence and laughs of some of the present companions there. It more surprising is the arrival of Jimmy at the end, that therefore we appreciate, he doesn't seem to be in his sound judgement, or passes to him something.

This play as we have said previously it is considered a party, but that it takes place in house of Gavin, concretely in a floor. Then we can assert that it is considered a only, urban and very simple space.

With respect to time, we can deduce that occurs in summer, due to topic of the that they speak, the Real Class; since it is considered a club of activities of summer. This play makes reference to the present, and we can deduce that takes place during the night by be a party. Referring to the literary and stylistic resources, concerning the valuation of the language we can assert that is used the prose and a simple language.

The others aspects that we can emphasize are the economics (that it would suppose a low cost of production due to the fact that there are very few furniture, and there aren't nothing else) and the technical (it would suppose few difficulty in scene, due to the fact that there aren't actors)

Personal opinion: the play has quite contained in general, but for me, the characters speak about topics little appropriate for a party.
