Dumb Waiter, The Tickets

We'll tell you as soon as tickets go on sale:

The Dumb Waiter is a classic comedy of menace and suspense by Nobel Prize-winner Harold Pinter. This major West End revival celebrates the 50th anniversary of this rarely performed one-act play and stars two outstanding performers Lee Evans (The Producers, Endgame, Mousehunt, Funny Bones) and Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter, The State Within, Black Hawk Down).

In an airless basement room, two killers await confirmation of the identity of their next ‘hit’. They’re a team from way back. Today something has disturbed their normally efficient routine. Unseen forces bear down on them in their precarious and darkly funny world.

Meanwhile, increasingly bizarre orders keep arriving via a serving hatch… Harry Burton, a regular collaborator with Pinter, recently directed The Dumb Waiter and The Room for the Royal Court as part of their 50th Anniversary season. Working With Pinter, a master-class and in-depth interview with the playwright will be screened on More 4 in February.
