In this two-character play, a pair of murderers wait in a sparse basement room for orders to their next killing. As they chat, first discussing the trivial and gradually more pressing issues, they start  to receive mysterious notes. Semiliterate thugs, they cannot fulfill these requests for food, and they react to the Absurdist intrusions in kind, Ben by scrupulously following all the rules he knows, and Gus by questioning absurdity and authority. Drawing on "Waiting For Godot," but with a cold, fascist concept of God, name FTP, this Harold Pinter play.
