The Birthday Party (film)
A man in his late 30s named Stanley is staying at a seaside boarding house , when he is visited by two menacing and mysterious strangers , Goldberg and McCann . Stanley 's neighbour , Lulu , brings him a parcel , which contains a boy 's toy drum , presented to Stanley as his `` birthday present . '' Goldberg and McCann offer to host Stanley 's birthday party after his landlady , Meg , tells them that it is Stanley 's birthday , although Stanley protests that it is really not his birthday . Through the course of the party , the actions of Goldberg and McCann eventually break down Stanley , and they take him away from the house , purportedly to get medical attention ( from `` Monty '' ) in their car . Meg 's husband Petey ( who did not attend the party because he was out playing chess ) calls after Stanley : `` Stan , do n't let them tell you what to do '' . Meg , still somewhat hung over , is unaware that Stanley has been taken away , since Petey has not told her , and she tells him that she was `` the belle of the ball . ''
