The Caretaker

British Drama

PERFORMED OFF-SITE

Two working-class brothers allow a homeless man to stay in their decrepit London flat — an act of compassion that sparks a cycle of cruelties, delusions, and shifting loyalties in a desperate struggle over territory.

Pinter's first great success, this play is a psychological study of the confluence of power, allegiance and innocence, powerfully displaying his sharp intelligence, masterful use of language, and uncompromising exploration of life’s menace and comedy.

Directed by Lara Macgregor.
