Notes
○ The Caretaker marked the second production of a Pinter play by the Studio Theatre company. The first, The Birthday Party, was actually directed by Harold Pinter himself in 1958 and was only the second professional production of the play following its original disastrous London production. The Birthday Party was only performed on tour by the company though, so The Caretaker marked the first time a Pinter play had been professionally produced and seen in Scarborough.
