Review of The Servant (1963) by Dan K — 03 Mar 2010
As in plays such as The Birthday Party and The Caretaker Pinter's spare, elliptical dialogue, with its pauses and silences, is the perfect vehicle for expressing the unspoken dynamics of human relationships and for establishing a pervasive sense of menace and unease.
More important still, however, is Losey's masterly direction, elaborate yet tightly controlled and never merely decorative.
