Summary: There is no caretaker at all !
Comment: This is the story of three men. Mick is the proprietor of a shabby house in the countryside. Aston, his brother, is always busy with something but never accomplishes anything. Finally there is Davies, some kind of a hobo, adopted by Aston who gives him a place to sleep and - after a while - asks him if he wants a job as the caretaker. Davies is very reluctant and finds petty excuses to postpone the decision of becoming the caretaker.
What is the plot of this play? Everything stays the same, nothing will ever happen. It becomes clear that the three characters are stuck with each other ( Pretty much as the characters of 'With closed doors' by J.P.Sartre ).
The most impressive part of the play is the monologue by Aston in which he tells how he was treated with electro-shocks when he was a kid. This is one of the most gruesome parts I know in modern theatre.
Rating: 4
Summary: great suspense
Comment: Thrillingly suspenseful. The pages just seem to keep coming with excitment. Gunn henderson was a great character. The caretaker himself was a mastermind amazing character. Loved every minute of it. Only thing wrong is getting what you want!
