Oisien and Ivan return with Pinters Early Play “the Dumb Waiter “. Noordhaus played Endgame this year and Waiting for Godot last year (both sold out).
Harold Pinter (b.1930) was the only child from a East Europe working class Jewish family. His father was a tailor in Hackney (East London), and he went to RADA to train as an actor, but hated it. He 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. He was a very good actor, who also wrote plays. He refused to do National Service, as a conscientious objector and fined 2 times. Deeply influenced by the theatre of the absurd.. 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.
Famous for his “Comedy of Menace”
