Coming Home to Pinter
Sometime back in my youth I believe I saw Harold Pinter’s play “The Caretaker”; I certainly studied it at University and remained baffled. ”The Homecoming” at the York Theatre Royal, although well reviewed, left me baffled too. What is the point ? I don’t leave the theatre feeling that I have learnt anything about human nature, that I have been much amused, that I have experienced any catharsis. They’re not real people. (And it’s not the acting)
