The Caretaker

Written by Harold Pinter

Directed by Dan Christiaens and Robert Sindelar

​​

Aston asks down-and-out Davies to be a live-in caretaker. Davies leaps at the chance to change his fortunes, but the trouble is he doesn’t know what a caretaker should do, especially in a room filled with junk. When Aston’s manipulative brother Mick shows up, the power struggle begins. Why does Aston collect all this stuff? Will Davies ever get a pair of decent shoes? And who will fix the drip in the ceiling? A play about the fragile balance of trust and betrayal in family relationships takes place in a single room of a house and explores themes of loneliness, isolation, and the absurdity of modern society.
