The Dumbwaiter

Abbott and Costello meet Samuel Beckett in the surreal hour of tense banter that is Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter. Two professional killers pass time in a basement room waiting for their next macabre assignment, punctuated by mysterious orders for food that descend via a dumbwaiter. The conversation seems nonsensical at first, but the tension between the two men soon begins to build — and it all ends with one of Pinter’s sharpest and most unexpected twists. Lachlan Bray directs a bold re-imagining of this sinister farce for the Rabbit Hole Theater Company.
