Aston, a quiet, reserved man, lives alone in a tiny, cluttered apartment in a poor London district. He befriends and takes in Mac Davies, an old derelict who has been fired from a menial job in a café. In time Aston offers him a job as caretaker of the house. Aston’s brother, Mick - a taunting, quasi-sadist - harasses the derelict when his brother is away, countermanding his orders. Pinter uses elements of both comedy and tragedy in painting this picture. The complexity of the play, Pinter’s masterful use of dialogue, and the depth and perception shown in Pinter’s themes all contribute to The Caretaker’s consideration as a modern masterpiece.
The Caretaker is directed by Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co.’s Producing Director, Hans Fleischmann. He is assisted by Colleen Moore. It features Richard Cotovsky, Dan Kuhlman, and Todd Lahrman. Designers include John Wilson (set), Stefin Steberl (costumes), Matthew Gawryk (lights), Joe Court (sound). Dialect Coaching will be given by Tiffany Joy Ross. Stage Management is by Anna M.K. Brenner.
