At the heart of this second volume of Harold Pinter's collected work is The Caretaker, the play with which he had his first major success. The obsessive caretaker, Davies, is a classic comic creation and his uneasy relationship with the enigmatic Aston and Mick a landmark in twentieth-century drama.
