The Caretaker

By Harold Pinter.

Davies, an ageing down-and-out, is given shelter by the kindly but vulnerable Aston. He quickly settles in, calmly making himself at home in the squalid, junk-filled room until Mick, Aston’s brother, a far more astute character, arrives. A battle of wits begins as the brothers seek to manipulate the old man to their respective ends. But Davies has his own agenda and not everything is as it seems...

A landmark of twentieth century drama, 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 power to amuse, to shock and to fascinate.
