The Dumb Waiter - Review Rundown

The Upcoming ★★★★

"The Dumb Waiter is a truly timeless play...still as pertinent and absorbing as ever - for any Pinter fan this production is a must see"

The Telegraph ★★★★

"Glover's blessed with two perfect Pinterians, Joe Armstrong finds a gawky innocence in Gus, who grows increasingly flustered, and Clive Wood was born to play Ben."

Time Out ★★★★

"What Glover really nails is the sense of encroaching menace: the way in which the absurd scenario and pair's blokey smalltalk transmute into something more sinister - upsetting, even."

The Evening Standard ★★★★

"this is as amusing as I've found Pinter in quite some time."

"the mood of actor-turned-director Jamie Glover's carefully modulated production curdles from anxious joviality through fretfulness to something far darker" “The Dumb Waiter has much to say about the banality of evil today and the manipulative, cynical power of those who really are in control, and whose success depends entirely on the gullibility of other.  It is exceptionally well directed by Jamie Glover.”

One Stop Arts ★★★★★

“The Dumb Waiter has much to say about the banality of evil today and the manipulative, cynical power of those who really are in control, and whose success depends entirely on the gullibility of others.”
