Dumbwaiter explores the unsettling tension between two "friends" waiting in a basement for instructions delivered via a dumbwaiter. The play delves into themes of uncertainty and control, culminating in a reveal that only one of them will leave.

One for the Road features an interrogator engrossed in a power trip, attempting to extract information from a family dealing with the oppressive atmosphere of the encounter. This gripping narrative ultimately leads to a tragic conclusion as the family's reality unravels.
