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)
