The Dumb Waiter
In a seedy basement below a café, two assassins await instructions for their next assignment. Primed and ready, they don’t know when the call will come, or who their next victim will be. One thing’s for sure: they weren’t expecting an order for steak and chips! Classic Pinter – spare, claustrophobic, simultaneously menacing, hilarious. With echoes of current world events, the play raises questions about power, politics, class, friendship and, ultimately, betrayal. Harold Pinter’s unique style precedes Quentin Tarantino’s gangster movies by many years. An early gem from the sadly-missed Nobel Prize-winning playwright.
