    At the Guildhall Theatre and directed by Esther Richardson.

    Two classic Harold Pinter plays paired together in one evening

    THE DUMB WAITER

    In the basement of a Birmingham restaurant, two squabbling hit men await instructions for their next assignment. When will the call come, and who will their next victim be?

    Then the room’s dumbwaiter creaks into life, bringing a series of absurd instructions that will test their ingenuity – and ultimately their loyalty.

    This one act play is a black, claustrophobic comedy with moments of absurdity, terror and tension.

    A KIND OF ALASKA

    After twenty nine years, Deborah is suddenly awoken from a deep coma by her doctor, Hornby. Absent from the world for so long, all she can cling to are the fractured memories of her vibrant youth.

    Confronted with her middle-aged sister, whom she can only remember as a child, will she finally be brought to accept the events of the years she has lost? Can she bridge the gap between this world and the one in which she has been suspended?

    Professional Theatre produced in Derby.
