A Welsh language adaptation of Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker - the first of Pinter’s plays to achieve significant commercial and artistic success.
This adaptation by Elis Gwyn was warmly received when it was first staged by Cwmni Theatr Cymru in the 1970s. And now, to commemorate the life and work of this great playwright - who died December 2008 - Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru revives the Welsh adaptation.
Y Gofalwr is a play about the relationship between two brothers and a tramp. Both comic and tragic, the story brilliantly illustrates the distance between reality and fantasy, family relationships, the struggle for power and mental illness.
