Join us for a Harold Pinter double bill – twice the comedy, twice the menace – comprising two darkly funny one-act plays by one of theatre's most inventive and versatile writers.

THE LOVER

Trapped in the monotony of middle-class life, Richard and Sarah’s marriage is on its last legs. Perhaps a lover could reignite their corroding relationship … or is escape from their stifling existence just a fantasy?

Burning with intrigue and uneasy humour, Harold Pinter spins a dangerous game of cat and mouse in this steamy psychological drama.

THE DUMB WAITER

Ben and Gus have a job to do. As they await instructions, their silence is disturbed by the rattle of a dumb waiter delivering peculiar food orders. Who is making demands for extravagant dishes when all the two men have is a packet of crisps?

As the intensity builds in Pinter's comedy of claustrophobia, Ben and Gus begin to question everything … and so will you.
