Dumb Waiter

In this absurdist, Harold Pinter, menacing comedy of horrors, Gus and Ben are two hitmen on the job, sitting and waiting for their target to arrive. Into this waiting silence rattles the dumb waiter with extraordinary demands for dishes they cannot supply: but who is operating the dumb waiter in an empty house? Who is their target? What will their fate be? Pinter’s characteristic blend of comedy with thrilling tension leaves the answers unclear until long after the play has finished.

The Real Inspector Hound

Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound is a one-act absurdist farce and a parody of Agatha Christie-style whodunits. It follows two feuding theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot, who attend a generic country-house murder mystery and inadvertently become entangled in the narrative, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
