Reviewer response to Pinter's "The caretaker"

Abstract

The Caretaker is one of Harold Pinter's early plays. It was an immediate success, and it drew the attention of many critics, who started judging this contemporary British playwright's works from a new perspective. Therefore, many scholars consider The Caretaker an important turning point in the reception of Pinterćs works. The play has seen many stagings all over the world, two of them in Slovenia. This article sets out its most prominent productions, analyses and comments on their critical reviews, and compares these to the response to Pinter in Slovene cultural space.

Secondary title:	Odzivi kritike na igro Harolda Pinterja "Hišnik"
Secondary abstract:	Hišnik (The Caretaker) spada med zgodnja dela Harolda Pinterja in je postal uspešnica že ob prvi uprizoritvi. Mnogi preučevalci Pinterjevega opusa štejejo prav to igro za pomemben preobrat v odnosu kritike do del tega sodobnega britanskega dramatika, saj so pozitivne ocene podali tudi kritiki, ki so pred tem Pinterja razumeli in sodili drugače. Hišnik je odtlej doživel že številne uprizoritve po vsem svetu, dve tudi v Sloveniji. Ta članek obravnava najvidnejše med njimi, analizira in komentira kritiške odzive nanje ter slednje primerja z ocenami obeh uprizoritev v Slovenskem kulturnem prostoru.
