The Lover & The Dumb Waiter

Join a Harold Pinter double bill — twice the comedy, twice the menace — comprising two darkly funny one-act plays by one of theatre’s most inventive and versatile writers. Trapped in the monotony of middle-class life, Richard and Sarah’s marriage is on its last legs. Perhaps a lover could reignite their corroding relationship… or is escape from their stifling existence just a fantasy? Burning with intrigue and uneasy humour, Harold Pinter spins a dangerous game of cat and mouse in this steamy psychological drama. Ben and Gus have a job to do. As they await instructions, their silence is disturbed by the rattle of a dumb waiter delivering peculiar food orders. Who is making demands for extravagant dishes when all the two men have is a packet of crisps? As the intensity builds in Pinter’s comedy of claustrophobia, Ben and Gus begin to question everything… and so will you. Entry Cost All tickets $43
