Theatre Encounter presents 'The Dumb Waiter' by Harold Pinter. A story about two assassins awaiting their prey in a basement room.
They have been through this before. But today something is different. Today someone preys upon them, and when the “dumb waiter” brings food orders down from what they thought was an abandoned kitchen, the two begin to prey upon each other.
The Dumb Waiter was written in 1958 and first performed in 1960. It was one of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter’s first works for the stage.
Often regarded as the most essential and distilled play of his signature “comedy of menace”, and as a seminal work of the 'Theatre of the Absurd', The Dumb Waiter has thrilled, intrigued and mystified audiences and scholars alike for over half a century.
