The Caretaker (Paperback)

'A modern classic, a spiritual shocker, tough, cruel and brutally funny... Pinter transfixes the modern human condition in which people are both intruders and prisoners, aggressors and victims, pushers and fantasists. This is your life.' –Sunday Times
.
A richly fascinating play that turns a cluttered West London attic into a microcosm of the wider world with its battles for dominance, power and territory and its search for some consoling fantasy that will protect us against the reality of our own selves. Pinter, in fact, gives us infinite riches in a little room.'
–Guardian
.
'One of the greatest of post-war British theatrical achievements.'
–Time Out
.
'The Caretaker is splendidly funny... the dialogue here is full of life and humour, meticulously and often hilariously pinning down the way people actually talk, the hesitancies, the evasions, the obsessive tricks of speech. He creates such rich demotic poetry out of improbable subjects. you don't want his characters o stop talking.'
— Daily Telegraph

What can we call so subtle, suggestive and fascinating piece but a classic?'
–The Times
