  3. The Caretaker by Harold Pinter


It's funny -- til it's not.” First staged in London, 1960, Harold Pinter’s first success still has the power to surprise, entertain and unsettle audiences. Soon after a pair of working-class brothers allow a boastful vagabond to temporarily stay in their decrepit London house, they’ve each separately offered the man a job as caretaker. Trapped in their own individual worlds of dreams and delusions – they’re soon at odds as kindness and loyalties give way to cruelties unleashed and lies exposed in this bitingly funny psychological exploration of life's menace and absurdity. Featuring David Bryan Jackson, Max Johnson & Mark Krawczyk, directed by Stephen Jarrett

“…powerful drama with a climax that tears at the heart.”The New York Times
