The Bald Soprano/The Dumb Waiter
by Eugene Ionesco and Harold Pinter, Two One-Act Plays Presented in Tandem
March 21-31, 2013
In The Bald Soprano, Eugene Ionesco throws together a cast of characters including the quintessential British middle-class family the Smiths, their guests the Martins, their maid Mary, and a fire chief determined to extinguish all fires — including their hearths. It’s an archetypical absurdist tale and Ionesco displays his profound take on the problems inherent in modern communication.
In Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter, one of Off-Broadway's most successful entries, this mysterious and moody study in suspense concerns two professional killers who wait apprehensively in a grubby, windowless basement room for word of their next macabre assignment.
