The Dumb Waiter - reading

Read by very special guests Jimmy Nail + another TBC

Largely considered the greatest British playwright of the last hundred years, Pinter's playwrighting legacy has changed the face of theatre, film and television ever since. Live Theatre are honoured to have been granted special permission by Pinter's estate to stage a very rare reading of his early masterpiece, the pitch black comedy The Dumb Waiter.

Ben and Gus are two hitmen waiting in a murky room, taunted by the absurd arrival of food orders.

In true Live Theatre style this absurdist masterpiece will be read onstage by an iconic figure and great friend of Live Theatre, the one and only Jimmy Nail with another special guest to be announced very soon.

Come and experience some of the world's best playwrighting in an intimate setting.

All proceeds from this event will go towards our work commissioning and developing North East playwrights.
