The Dumb Waiter

Snowflake Productions—Playhouse Studio

At many points during this show I found myself getting antsy waiting for something to happen. In fact, I was waiting for a good chunk of the show, but seeing as that’s what the characters were doing, I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.

Whenever it was mentioned how long the characters had been waiting, or how bored they were, I couldn’t help but feel the same way.

That’s the only issue I had with this play—if your characters are bored, your audience will be too.

If the show started, rather than ended, with the big plot twist, I probably would have a very different opinion.
