The Caretaker

Description

'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 to stop talking.' Daily Telegraph'One of the greatest of post-war British theatrical achievements.'
