Sold out shows bring additional performances June 5th and 6th at 8:00 pm!
Directed by Melee Hutton (KICK Theatre’s Dora nominated Miss Julie; Sheh’mah) and by turns ridiculous and terrifying, The Dumb Waiter's surreal events have Ben (Mark Wilson) and Gus (David Matheson) wondering who is in charge, and how they might escape from the structures of their lives.
“Director Melee Hutton and her two actors nicely bring out the absurdist comedy in the script, the two men occasionally suggesting the traditional clown duo of boss and servant. Even here Hutton steps away from the expected by giving Matheson’s Gus a rebellious note rather than just having him play the antic, acquiescing sidekick... Wilson and Matheson’s commitment pulls us into this weird world of assassinations and off-kilter comedy."
Jon Kaplan (Now Magazine)
“Great production by Wordsmyth Theatre here, an independent Toronto company... sharp direction by Melee Hutton leads David Matheson and Mark Wilson to superb performances."
