Theatre Review: The Caretaker at The Gate, Dublin
Following the logic that no good deed ever goes unpunished, however, Aston comes to regret that decision. Davies proves an ungrateful wretch, manipulative and unhinged, but the awful night terrors he suffers in his sleep point to his demons.
In contrast to the benign Aston, who has struggled with his mental health, Mick is insidious. Casually sadistic and in truck to haughty visions of his own success as a builder, he nevertheless feels an ambivalent duty to take care of his older brother. But will he become prey to Davies’ attempts to divide them?
