After presenting six productions, Harold Pinter finally came up with The Caretaker, a production which brought him his long awaited commercial success and recognition. It was published under two labels simultaneously in 1960 and was adopted as a play, making its premiere in the same year. It was shown in London at Arts Theatre but had to be transferred to Duchess Theatre from the next month. The Caretaker ran 444 times for the first time, marking a record for both Pinter and the whole company. All these decades have passed but years have not seen The Caretaker tickets go down in popularity. The Caretaker took a national tour, showing in theaters, gaining praises from all around.

The play made as much a great impact in the US as it has done in London, gracing the theaters and attracting masses of theater lovers.
The Caretaker is a play which takes place in a house in London and features three main characters Mick, Aston and Davies. The three act play is unique in its own way and looks similar to a play by Samuel Beckett, 'Waiting for Godot'. The play has been directed in a way that which shows that not much attention has been given to the plot but here is what lays the art of this show. The language of The Caretaker is such which compels the audience to pay attention to it if they have to understand it and there is always a hidden meaning behind the simplicity of things. The casual way of delivery of dialogues is where the true beauty of The Caretaker lies. Justice was done with the part of Davies who was played by Jonathan Price, a notable performer of both West End and Broadway and also an amazing actor in Hollywood. This two times Tony Award winning actor added color to the role of Davies and audience loved him for that. Audience have seen Price in films like Pirates of The Caribbean, Tomorrow Never Dies and The New World.
The genre of The Caretaker has been regarded as drama and a "tragicomedy", a drama that has the elements of both tragedy and comedy. It certainly is a good kind of show which gives the audience more than one elements to enjoy. The comic part in the show is between the monologues of Mick and Davies while the tragic elements can be seen in the part of Aston when he explains his electric shock treatment and how it goes wrong leaving him mentally paralyzed forever. The comic setup of The Caretaker is often conflicted with some serious action while portraying the stories of these three men and their mutual interactions. Each of the three men has different personalities and when these different personalities come together, they form what we have come to adore, The Caretaker.
