The Dumb Waiter at Hampstead Theatre
The set for this 60th anniversary production of Harold Pinter s Beckettian two-hander has stood sentinel over an empty auditorium since March.
A cast change and two lockdowns later, and it s a sombre piece to reopen the shuttered venue - to a masked and spaced out audience.
The communal theatre experience, and pre-show conversation was inevitably subdued - but we were all just happy to experience an all too short 55 minutes of live theatre.
