The Caretaker is a 1960 English play written by Harold Pinter. The three-act absurd play is set in a single room of a house in West London with three men circling around each other's life. It presents a captivating exploration of power dynamics, identity crisis exposing the human condition in a modern city and the alienation followed by it.

Mick, Davies, and Aston are mere conduits to showcase the larger political questions of the world. The Caretaker raises several intriguing and heart wrenching problems of refugee crisis, racism, politics of identity, post war issues, and power hierarchies. Pinter while

talking about his plays and characters is very humanistic - ironically, his writings are not just that, but they explore intricate political intertwining of the time, place, and characters.

The voyeuristic ability given to the audience while viewing the play is the absurd irony of human nature that we all are guilty of indulging in. It is when individuals question and analyse their own lives that they compare each other’s lives’ ‘greener pastures’ and introspect their life’s timeline.
