  • Reviewer Response to Pinter's the Caretaker
    UDK 821.111.09-2 Pinter H.(497.4) REVIEWER RESPONSE TO PINTER'S THE CARETAKER Tomaz Onic Abstract The Caretaker is one of Harold Pinter's early plays. It was an immediate success, and it drew the attention of many critics, who started judging this contemporary British playwright's works from a new perspective. Therefore, many scholars consider The Caretaker an important turning point in the reception of Pinter's works. The play has seen many stagings all over the world, two of them in Slovenia. This article sets out its most prominent productions, analyses and comments on their critical reviews, and compares these to the response to Pinter in Slovene cultural space. International productions of The Caretaker Harold Pinter's The Caretaker1 was first published in 1959 together with four other plays in the second volume of the author's collected works. It was premiered in April 1960 at the Arts Theatre in London and moved to the Duchess Theatre a month after the first production. This early play by Harold Pinter was enthusiastically ac­ cepted by the general public and the critics. It was his sixth theatre piece, presented only three years after his first two plays, The Room and The Birthday Party. The first reviews of the former were favourable, but, surprisingly, this was not the case with The Birthday Party, which is today one of his most frequently staged pieces; some even number it among the best achievements of contemporary British theatre. Its first pro­ duction ran only a week, and it took most of the critics some time to realise that there was more to it than mere »verbal anarchy«, as Milton Shulman (1958) labelled what later became known as typical pinteresque dialogue.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
