Lent Week 4
In the basement room of a deserted house, two men wait impatiently for instructions on a job they must do. But their predicement takes a surprising turn as bizarre messages are sent from the supposedly abandoned floor above. One of Pinter's earliest plays, The Dumb Waiter is both a dark farce and a suspense thriller. Combining humour with tension, Pinter forces the audience into the role of detective in a drama where vital questions are left unanswered.
