About The Dumb Waiter
Harold Pinter’s Dumb Waiter introduces us to Gus and Ben, a team of hitmen waiting in a basement room for their mark to arrive. This filmed version, created with the constraints of COVID-19, imagines a space that is thoroughly bugged, secretly wired, and closely surveilled. The audience sits in the seat of power as these two men navigate their loyalties to each other, to themselves, and to the mysterious Wilson as the orders continue to drop in from above.
