Le Monte-plats

In a dark, stifling basement, two hitmen, Ben and Gus, await instructions for their next contract. Time stretches on, routine sets in, and mundane dialogue gradually becomes tinged with dread.

Mysterious orders arrive via a dumbwaiter that stirs without warning, demanding dishes impossible to prepare. Between the absurd and the comedic, tension mounts: who is truly in command? What lies behind this waiting? Harold Pinter delivers a fascinating closed-door drama where unsaid words, silence, and invisible threat reveal human fragility in the face of authority and the absurd.
