THE CARETAKER

LONDON CLASSIC THEATRE

By Harold Pinter

Davies, an elderly drifter, is given shelter by the kindly but vulnerable Aston.  He quickly makes himself at home in the squalid, junk-filled attic, but an uneasy peace is fractured by the arrival of Mick, Aston’s quick-witted, streetwise younger brother.  As the shadows lengthen and the three men reveal more about the past and themselves, a battle of wits begins that will have irrevocable consequences for them all.

A landmark of twentieth century theatre, The Caretaker was first performed at The Arts Theatre, London in 1960.  Fifty years on, Pinter’s compelling study of loneliness and power games still has the capacity to amuse, to shock and to fascinate.

 “One of the 20th century's great plays, a tr agic comedy of stunning individuality” Daily Mail
