That's a brilliant question! If you are referrring to the Harold Pinter one-act play,
one of the themes will almost certainly relate to the problem of non-communication. Even part of the title suggests this - "Dumb."
Pinter once said that one of the greatest problems facing modern man is related to communication - people either UNABLE to communicate or are UNWILLING to communicate. What is the case in this play? (There is a communication problem between the two killers and the man waiting for their arrival...)

The theme of "The Dumb Waiter" by Harold Pinter focuses on power dynamics and the absurdity of human communication. The play explores themes of control, authority, and the dehumanizing effects of routine and obedience in the context of a mysterious and tense situation.
