Davies, an elderly drifter, is given shelter by the kindly but vulnerable Aston. He quickly makes himself at home in the squalid, junk-filled attic, but an uneasy peace is fractured by the arrival of Mick, Aston's quick-witted, streetwise younger brother. As the shadows lengthen and the three men reveal more about the past and themselves, a battle of wits begins that will have irrevocable consquences for them all.

A landmark of twentieth century theatre, The Caretaker was first performed at The Arts Theatre, London in 1960. Fifty years on, Pinter's compelling study of loneliness and power games still has the capacity to amuse, to shock and to fascinate.

Playwright, director, actor, poet and political activist, Harold Pinter was born on 1 October 1930 in East London. He wrote twenty-nine plays including The Birthday Party, Old Times, The Homecoming and Betrayal. In 2005, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He died on Christmas Eve 2008.

London Classic Theatre first produced The Caretaker in 2004. The tour was both a critical and commercial success and this revival will be the centrepiece of their tenth anniversary year.

"One of the 20th century's great plays, a tragic comedy of stunning individuality" - Daily Mail.
