Zondagse Theater Matinees, "The Dumbwaiter" door Noordhaus

The Dumbwaiter

One of His first plays “The Dumb Waiter” has 2 criminals waiting for orders in a cellar from Above. The orders come, but the conclusions are shocking.

Harold Pinter ( b.1930) was the only Child from a East Europe working Class Jewish family. His father was a tailor, and he went to RADA to train as an actor; but hated it and left without finishing the course. During the 2nd world Blitz in London he was evacuated as a small child to Cornwall. Later, while touring Ireland with a crazy Shakespeare company he started writing plays . Deeply influenced by the theatre of the absurd.
