Sunscreen Theatricals has announced its production of one of Harold Pinter's most acclaimed and well-known plays, The Dumb Waiter. Directed by Julie Nunis, the production will feature (in alphabetical order) Ben Crowley and London Kim. Opening is set for Friday, October 4, at 8pm and the run will continue through Sunday, October 13 only.
The Dumb Waiter, written in 1959, tells the tragicomic tale of two hit men hiding out in the basement of a derelict building waiting for the delivery of their next victim. Pinter's words are not always what drives the narrative; it's often the unspoken dialogue that delivers the most profound message, pushing the actors to explore physical and emotional interactions beyond language.
Ben Crowley has been seen in
Spike Lee's Sucker Free City, The Hills Have Eyes 2, and Ratched with
Cynthia Nixon. London Kim's credits include
Robert Rodriguez's Matador,
Clint Eastwood's Letters from
Iwo Jima, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Julie Nunis is a documentary film director (Jazz v. Punk) and was on the producing team of
Steve Martin's play Picasso at the Lapin Agile in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.
The performance schedule is Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 6pm. Admission is $15 in advance and $20 at the door, and tickets may be purchased online at
https://waiter.brownpapertickets.com or by phone at (800) 838-3006. There will be a post-performance celebration on Friday, October 11, in honor of
Harold Pinter's birthday.
