Gus and Ben are on the job, waiting and listening. Into the waiting silence rattles the dumb waiter with extraordinary demands for dishes they cannot supply - and who is operating the dumb waiter in an empty house? In a while their victim will come and they will know what to do.
##竟然很有貝剋特《等待戈多》的味道:荒誕、無意義的對話、兩個人共同等待未知。不過這部劇真心晦澀難懂,而且極其黑色幽默。最有趣的結尾並不難猜:prey與predator往往隻有一綫之隔,你苦苦等待的結果就一定是你以為的嗎?
##It can't be more woeful to stay in a windowless room and be the roommate of a chatter box. Both can easily hit me😅.
##又一部荒誕劇

##準備火車上重讀
##沒讀過劇本,藉條目標注下油管拉的1985電視版,似乎比看過的the caretake, the lover, the collection更加缺乏可理解的情節,但角色之間的戲劇衝突和惡意還是很滿很緊綳。一開始測試視頻隨便拖瞭幾下進度條,都剛好是沒有對話甚至沒有動作的時間點,也能感受到一觸即發的緊張感,不知道是演員的靜態錶演還是觀眾的期待造成的。。
##i am totally get lost
##Danger and suspence are simmering in silence. What seems to be small talk is a matter of life and death. When Ben and Gus stare at each other before the curtain is drawn, the greatest suspence surfaces--whether to kill Gus or not to kill him. Gus is petrified by Ben's gun because he has just disarmed himself. Violence dominates the stage.
##“送菜”一段頗有意思,這麼短的劇本能寫齣這麼多內容不容易啊
