WAITER, WAITER (part one) and PEOPLE PEOPLE (part two) takes place in two different parts of a restaurant at the end of the night. A blistering comedy with a ferocious use of language, WW looks at the desperation behind the “service smile”, and the deep insecurities hiding just below the surface of contemporary life. Eight waiters cash out and lash out as the evening wears on, and alliances shift and turn at the expense of the waiter’s humanity. Decaffe coffee and a fight to the death highlight this savage comedy of manners.

    I had the joy of inviting David to direct a reading of this piece way back in the last millennium. You will laugh harder than you ever have in your life, and simultaneously hate yourself for doing so. Oh, if you need a vagina-centric monologue (and who doesn't, really) look no further. Love!
