The Dumb Waiter

From the company that premiered the hilarious "Don't Cry For Me, Margaret Mitchell," comes something completely different: an adaptation of Harold Pinter's seminal crime thriller, "The Dumb Waiter." The play tells the story of two contract killers awaiting instructions for their next job. An atmosphere of menace and absurdity develops as one of the two criminals begins to question their chosen profession. The tension grows as strange messages from an unknown presence begin to arrive. Finally, ethics… Show more and loyalty are put to the test as one man must make a decision with dire repercussions. This taut and darkly comic play has been a favorite of audiences and critics since its premiere in 1960. Cast and director talkbacks will be held on opening night, Tuesday, July 24, and closing night, Saturday, July 28, immediately following the show. Mature subject matter.
