The Dumb Waiter

Two would-be assassins wait in the basement of a former cafe to learn what their next assignment will be. These men, Ben and Gus, are polar opposites: Ben takes orders as they come without question, while Gus nervously awaits new assignments by peppering Ben with myriad questions.  As Ben and Gen await their newest assignment by debating odd topics and reading the newspaper, the arrival of mysterious orders through a dumbwaiter becomes a catalyst for tension, revealing the characters’ strained relationship and existential uncertainties.

Told with distinctive wit and poignant pauses, The Dumb Waiter is one of Harold Pinter’s most acclaimed earlier works.

Recommended for mature audiences.
