by Harold Pinter

A comedy of menace
Rated 12
The Caretaker
Thursday 26 October - Saturday 11 November
 

Davies is down and out on his heel until he's taken in for the night by the seemingly eccentric Aston. But Davies sets his sights higher than a bed for the night and instead fancies his chances as a steady boarder. Lost in a world of homelessness, his identity papers in Sidcup, he soon outstays his welcome until Aston's younger brother Mick shows up…

Originally produced in London 1960, The Caretaker was the first big hit for Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter. Andrew Breakwell directs this modern masterpiece - funny yet full of tension and mind games - and almost unbearably tragic.

Starring Colin Tarrant (Old Big Ead in The Spirit of the Man, The Bill) as Davies; Colin Wells (Hollyoaks, Crossroads) as Mick; and Daniel Copeland (Othello, The Railway Children) as Aston.

Also, Don't miss The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter with just once performnace left on 11 November at 3.00pm. See both The Dumb Waiter and The Caretaker, with supper in between only on Saturday 11 November. Call the Box Office for details.
