The Caretaker
Ten years ago Harold Pinter wrote the play which was to disturb the approach of nearly all contemporary dramatic writers in their attitude towards the characters they were to 'create. Conventional plots, characters and their stagey dialogue which had been accepted as ' modern theatre ' were jettisoned for a more truthful understanding of people and depth of perception which were revolutionary
The Caretaker ran at the Duchess Theatre. London, for over a year and ensuing productions brought acclaim and awards from nearly every country in the world. Frequently hilarious, suddenly moving, insidiously menacing, this great play is now given a new production to herald this festival of Pinter's works with Produced by GUY VAESEN
