Headgate Theatre Productions present Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter, a classic one-act play running about 55 minutes. Ben and Gus are two hitmen hiding out in a Birmingham basement, waiting with growing tension for instructions on their next job. When they discover a dumb waiter in the room, the unexpected begins to happen. The amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd, and the show carries a content note for discussions of violence and mild physical threat.
