The Caretaker: And, the Dumb Waiter: Two Plays

About this book

Two plays from the Nobel Prize-winning playwright that has been recognized as "the most fascinating, enigmatic, and accomplished dramatist in the English language." (Newsweek)In all of Pinter's plays, seemingly ordinary events become charged with profound, if elusive, meaning, haunting pathos, and wild comedy. In The Caretaker, a tramp finds lodging in the derelict house of two brothers; in The Dumbwaiter, a pair of gunmen wait for the kill in a decayed lodging house. Harold Pinter gradually exposes the inner strains and fear of his characters, alternating hilarity and character to create and almost unbearable edge of tension.
