📗 Libro en inglés THE CARETAKER (BLACK CAT THE ORIGINAL CLASSICS)

Harold Pinter Introduction, notes and activities by James Butler and Lucia De Vanna A dingy and junk-cluttered room in London is the setting for this classic play. The inhabitant of the room is Aston. Aston is supposed to be putting the property in order for his brother Mick, who has ambitious plans for restoring and decorating the house. The relationship between the two brothers seems threatened by the arrival of Davies, an old man whom Aston has saved from a fight outside a café. The play is fraught with tension and menace as the characters form alliances, betray each other, and in the process reveal themselves to the audience. Theatre of the Absurd, allegory, or psychological drama? Critics have argued about how this play should be classified, while agreeing that it is a masterpiece of the period. Sales restricted to certain countries.
