In a seedy basement below a café, two hit-men await instructions for their next assignment. Primed and ready, they don't know when the call will come, or who their next victim will be. One thing's for sure: they weren't expecting an order for steak and chips!

The Dumb Waiter is classic Pinter – sparse, claustrophobic, simultaneously menacing and hilarious. With its echoes of current world events, the play raises questions about power, politics, class, friendship and, ultimately, betrayal and is an ideal partner piece to The Caretaker.
