Description | The Dumb Waiter is set in the basement kitchen of a deserted rooming house, where eccentric hit men Gus and Ben wait impatiently for instructions on their next job. Unfortunately for them, their predicament takes a bizarre turn as unsettling messages are received from the presumably abandoned floors above. A Slight Ache is a tragicomic play. It concerns a married couple's dreams and desires, focusing mostly on the husband's fears of the unknown, of growing old, and of the "Other" as a threat to his self-identity. |
