LONDON Classic Theatre presents Harold Pinter’s classic The Caretaker at Lighthouse, Poole for three nights from Monday.
First performed at The Arts Theatre, London in 1960, 50 years later this compelling study of loneliness and power games remains a landmark of 20th century theatre – still able to amuse, shock and fascinate.
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.
