The Caretaker and the Dumb Waiter, Harold Pinter 1960

Two more spare, dark, low action, many pauses plays about alienation, loneliness, and meaninglessness of today’s society.  Fringe characters living isolated and empty lives collide in random ways with death always hovering off stage.  How to deal with these issues is never clear to the characters who always seem confused, out of control, and randomly placed together.  No fun here!
