I recomend to all those in the UK atthe moment to try and check our Director Nico Vaccari's version of this play at lincoln Drill hall and Hodgesock priory. I have never seen a more intense version.
Thank god this is on here. Reading absurdist plays always brings along a feeling that it's lacking something. Plus the fact that since I'm a fast reader I blaze through the lines, completely ruining all the pauses that the author puts in.
Yes, In Bruges recalls The Dumb Waiter as The Lonesome West recalls True West. Martin McDonagh wrote In Bruges and Lonesome West as "tips of the hat" to Pinter and Shepard.
Saw this at the trafalger with Lee Evans and Jason Issacs and must admit I preferred the stage version, think its one of those plays that needs the audience there. The day I went to see it they were filming it for the theatre archives, I would love to see it on here.
Pinter's finest one-act play and said to be the inspiration for Reservoir Dogs....

This is awsome, this is really close to the script. I had to read it for a theater class. It helps seeing it visualised. ^^

In Bruges is based on The Dumb Waiter

Thank you for posting this! I am reading this play for an English class and it is much easier to understand if I can watch the action.
I'm not the only one who thinks this is just like the plot to In Bruges am I?
