Nora
Theatre Presents When an elderly tramp is given lodging in the derelict home of two brothers, the ensuing relationships and shifting alliances intensify with comically unsettling consequences in Harold Pinter’s psychological drama, "The Caretaker." Featuring
John Kuntz as Aston, Michael Balcanoff as Davies,
and Joe Lanza, The Nora Theatre Company
production runs from October 1 - November 1 at Central Square
Theater. Daniel Gidron directs. Pinter's own influence on a younger generation of playwrights, including David Mamet in the United States and Patrick Marber and Jez Butterworth in his native England, is clear. Leading British theater away from drawing room gentility in the 1950s, he explored the tense but often darkly comedic underpinnings of interpersonal and political power plays. A pacifist and conscientious objector, he became more politically outspoken in his later plays, as well as in his 2005 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. In continued exploration of the distinguished life of Harold
Pinter, audiences will have the opportunity to discuss the play with special
guests and the artists after select performances of "The Caretaker". -- OnStage Boston 10/01/09
