The Dishwashers by Morris Panych
Featuring:
Rylan Wilkie Emmett
Tom Anniko Dressler
Harry Nelken Moss
Toby Hughes Burroughs
We can’t all be rich and successful.
If everybody was at the top of the heap, there wouldn’t be a heap.
Emmett, once a high-rolling patron of a high-end eatery, is now a dishwasher in that same restaurant.
His mentor is Dressler, the philosophizing ruler of all he surveys.
Emmett's co-worker, Moss, doesn’t realize he’d been fired weeks ago.
A hilarious journey into the unseen, steamy world of the up-scale restaurant “dish-pit”.
Morris Panych's The Overcoat is touring worldwide. its film version won an honourable mention at the Prix Italia. Panych's plays have been produced in over a dozen languages.
I’m a great fan of Morris Panych… a play that examines the nature of what work means… in a world where ‘you are what you do,’ (The Dishwashers) belongs on the stage…
I am very proud of the five new plays chosen to celebrate PTE’s 40th anniversary. Not only are they all Canadian writers, but all of the playwrights are currently writing and their work resonates with contemporary themes.
Artistic Director, Robert Metcalfe
