Care taken in revival of Pinter's classic tale of alienation
Theatre review
The Caretaker
Touring
HAROLD PINTER refused to accept any categorisation of the dramatic style that dominates his plays and it is questionable if he would fully recognise this production of The Caretaker by the Bristol Old Vic and Royal & Derngate Northampton.
This, though, is not a criticism but an acknowledgement of the originality of Christopher Hayden's all-black, updated production.
