Who is the Caretaker?

Introduction to the School’s
Pinter Project

The ‘Take Care’ project starts on the 14th September 2006 with a meeting for the teacher’s of groups that will be involved in the project, and culminates in a joint school’s performance as part of Sheffield Theatres’ Pinter Festival, entitled ‘Take Care’ on the 8th November 2006.

‘Take Care’ is an exploratory project for students studying A Level in Performing Arts, Drama or for a BTEC. By taking part in the project students will have the opportunity to learn about the work and techniques of Harold Pinter, Britain’s greatest living play-write, as well as acting and directing techniques. Following the series of workshops, schools/colleges will then have the opportunity to contribute to the projects performance ‘Take Care’, a devised and scripted response to The Caretaker. The performance will be preceded by a joint Page to Stage event led by students who have worked on ‘Take Care’.
