Stockbridge, MA—Berkshire Theatre Festival opens its 2008 80th anniversary season with Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker, directed by Eric Hill in the Unicorn Theatre. The production previews May 22 and 23, opens May 24 (press night), and runs through June 28. Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker is an enigmatic and sinister comedy about the struggle for power. The fragile relationship of two brothers, Aston and Mick, is turned upside down when Davies, a homeless man, enters their lives. Since its premiere in 1960, this play has been recognized as a landmark in 20th century drama.

Tickets range from $39 to $44. Students with valid ID receive fifty percent discount. Contact the BTF Box Office at 413-298-5576 or visit www.berkshiretheatre.org. Box Office hours are Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm and one hour prior to curtain.
