Introverted and quiet Aston rescues drifter Davies, who had been living on the street, from a fight, then asks him to be his live-in caretaker. Davies leaps at the chance, but doesn’t actually know what a caretaker should do, especially in a room filled with junk. When Aston’s manipulative younger brother Mike 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?

THE CARETAKER delves into the turbulent relationships between a man experiencing homelessness and two polar-opposite brothers. Pinter cranks up the tension, piles on the laughs and teases out the emotional foibles of three lonely men in this compelling absurdist theatrical event.
