by Harold Pinter
directed by Joe Foust (The Dumbwaiter) & Rob Kimmel (Victoria Station)
at Angel Island
Opened October 1994
“Kindles with riveting slowness to a small but triumphant climax.”
Chicago Reader
We were proud to present two classic works by one of Great Britain’s finest playwrights. The Dumb Waiter, a prime example of Pinter’s enigmatic terror and comedy of menace, featured two gunmen in a decayed basement waiting for the kill. Victoria Station, a glimpse at Pinter’s humorous side, was a brutal, over-the-airwaves battle of wills between a cabby and his frustrated dispatcher. These powerful works demonstrated a broad range of Pinter’s unique dramatic skill.
