The Dumb Waiter at Alma Tavern and Theatre
£13 / £11

A event on Saturday 28th September. The event starts at 20:00.


Gus and Ben are two hit-men awaiting their next job in the basement of a derelict building.

Into the waiting silence rattles the dumb waiter with extraordinary demands for dishes they cannot supply - and who is operating the dumb waiter in an empty house? In a while their victim will come and they will know what to do.

For their seventh production Schoolhouse return to their home with Pinter's best-known short play.

Praise for Schoolhouse

A DOLL'S HOUSE
"A powerful and thought- provoking piece of theatre which is bold, entertaining and thoroughly lives up to the high expectations I have of this young company" - 5 STARS (Sarah-Jane Howard - 365 Bristol)
"It’s worth the ticket for that final scene, alone. The rest … is bonus." - 4 STARS (Arthur Duncan - RemoteGoat)

THE MEMORY OF WATER
"Tightly directed, tense, and laced with home truths, plus a cast on top form, Shelagh Stephenson’s The Memory of Water flips from high comedy to bleak emotional desolation in this sharp production at the Alma." (Harry Mottram - harrymottram.co.uk)
