Ensemble Theatre: The Lover & The Dumb Waiter
1 June @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST

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.
