the dumb waiter

by Harold Pinter

dir. Piers Black

Kings Arms Salford; HOMEmcr; NSDF Scarborough (2014-15)

Ransack's revival of Pinter's The Dumb Waiter opened The Lucy Davis Vaults in the cellars of The Kings Arms in July. The Dumb Waiter marked the end of the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival 2014, played to sold-out audiences and claimed ‘Best Revival’ at the Greater Manchester Fringe Awards. Consequently, the production was invited back to the cellars for another sell-out run in November 2014.

In January Ransack’s awarding-winning The Dumb Waiter broke out of the vaults and was staged at Home MCR in 2015.

The Dumb Waiter was then selected to join NSDF 2015 in Scarborough where our remounting of the production in an abandoned school received the NSDF Judge's Commendation for Lighting and Design.

“Cold, intense and terrifyingly real, Ransack’s the Dumb Waiter is a tremendous feat.” ★★★★★ - Tusk Journal
