Break A leg to Daniel Mays, Timothy Spall, George MacKay, and the crew of The Caretaker for tonight’s first performance!
From The Old Vic Theatre website:
When it premiered in 1960, The Caretaker changed the face of modern theatre. Now Harold Pinter’s groundbreaking classic comes to The Old Vic in a new production directed by Matthew Warchus.
Disturbed handyman Aston has invited an irascible tramp to stay with him at his brother’s jumbled London flat. At first it seems that the manipulative guest will take advantage of his vulnerable host. But when Aston’s brother Mick arrives, an enigmatic power struggle emerges between the three men that is in equal parts menacing, touching and darkly comic.
Daniel Mays stars as Aston, Timothy Spall as Davies, and George MacKay as Mick.
Performances Tue 29 Mar – Sat 14 May 2016
Mon – Sat 7.30pm; Wed & Sat 2.30pm
Book tickets for this must see theatre event!
