The Dumb Waiter Play at Cotuit Center for the Arts
Cotuit Center for the Arts will be performing “The Dumb Waiter,” at theFebruary 19 to March 8. Performances are Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8 PM.
Ben and Gus are two hit men who have been hired by the unseen Wilson to carry out an unknown job. As they wait in a windowless basement to receive their instructions, they “discuss everything from football and tea sets to murderous children, and the delicious combination of chips and beer,”
Ben and Gus await another job, but it is not long until their established routine is disrupted. As the pair blindly try and fulfill the obscure demands that descend from above, they begin to realize that this job is unlike any other. Tensions rise and tempers flare as an unseen power propels them towards a realization of the true identity of the ‘hit’ and a brutal finale.
