Morris Panych's dark comedy The Dishwashers is reminiscent of a Samuel Beckett work, complete with existential philosophizing and dialogue that prompts wince-inducing laughter. Part of Americas off Broadway at 59E59 Theaters, a two-month series bringing successful regional plays to NYC, the Chester Theatre Company's production of The Dishwashers is a complex portrait of three workers toiling in the depths of a high-end restaurant. Each man has a different attitude towards his work — pride, distaste, resignation — and while the potential for moralizing abounds, Panych's mastery of irony pushes the play much further than simple privileged vs. working class commentary.
