The SIUE Department of Theater and Dance will present the play, The Caretaker, at the James F. Metcalf Theater, located just west of the SIUE Student Fitness Center.
Curtain times are 7:30 p.m., Saturday and March 28-29, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 23, 30.
The Caretaker, Pinter’s 1960 classic, chronicles the peculiar relationships between a tramp and two brothers in a dilapidated London house. Like many of Pinter’s plays, The Caretaker, examines the communication, or the lack thereof, between people. The play’s situations go from “funny to weird to tragic.”
The Caretaker, directed here by James Van Leishout, remains one of Pinter’s most celebrated and most often performed plays.
Ticket costs are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, SIUE retirees, faculty and staff and $10 for
non-SIUE students (with valid identification). Admission is free for SIUE students, compliments of the SIUE Campus Activities Board.
