The Dumb Waiter / The Real Inspector Hound

Theatre In The Valley presents an evening of two one-acts:

The Dumb Waiter

By Harold Pinter

Directed by Rick Bindhamer & Charles Addison

A pair of part-time employees are biding their time in a decayed lodging house, waiting instructions from the big boss. We soon learn that these organized crime henchmen have problems and fears of their own. Alternating between hilarity and frustration, the tension builds until it teeters on a knife’s edge.

The Real Inspector Hound

By Tom Stoppard

Directed by Rick Bindhamer

This spoof of the whodunit genre is complete with motives, clues and a body under the sofa. English theatre critics Moon and Birdboot become irresistibly drawn into a murder-mystery they are attending. While the plot thickens along with the rising fog that surrounds isolated Muldoon Manor, Birdboot and Moon find themselves targeted in an escaped psychotic’s sights.
