The Dumb Waiter & In the Moment
The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter
In the Moment by Jeffrey Helgeson
Co-Directed by Robert Tobin and Adrian Balbontin
January 17 - February 14, 2014
About the show: The Dumb Waiter is a humorous and provocative story of two hit men as they wait in a basement for their next assignment. Told through Pinter's unmistakable wit and poignant pauses, the story is recognized for its exceptional writing and subtle character development. In the Moment picks up where The Dumb Waiter has ended, as the two actors fight and struggle over the importance of theater and the pointless folly and epic significance of it all. These one-act plays were presented as part of the 25th annual Rhinoceros Theater Festival, presented at Prop Thtr.

Reviews
“First and foremost, these two plays give us the definition that theater is a showcase of acting talent. The two actors who perform these two one-acts, Rory Jobst and Tim Larson (and a cameo by Sara Pavlak), not only time their many Pinter pauses with perfection but then seamlessly take us into the real-time world of “In the Moment” where we see these actors as real people—almost. It’s still scripted and what a delightful script it is.”
