THE CARETAKER
by Harold Pinter
Directed by Marlyn G. Robinson | April 26 - May 25
“What am I going to do?”
“What shall I do? Where am I going to go?”
Two working class brothers invite a homeless man to stay in their dilapidated London flat, setting in motion a tug-of-war between domination and dependence, shifting treacheries, and emotional camouflage in an atmosphere of threat, mystery, and delusion. The Caretaker’s hilarious and wildly terrifying sequence of events have made Pinter’s 1960 breakthrough play a contemporary classic and worldwide hit.
Cast: Marc Horwitz, Michael Donlan, Michael Salconi
“A play of strangely compelling beauty and passion…
The Caretaker will tease and cling to the mind.” – The New York Times
