THE unique blend of farce and black comedy in Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr Sloane beautifully captures the suppressed desires of the 1960s.
London Classic Theatre have established a reputation for producing bold, imaginative theatre of the highest quality. This revival of their 2003 production of the play celebrates the 50th anniversary of Orton’s work.
See their production in The Haymarket from Wednesday, March 19 to Friday 21 at 7.30pm, with a 2pm performance on Thursday 20.
Kath and her elderly father Kemp live in a house on the outskirts of a rubbish dump. Their drab existence is interrupted by the arrival of a new lodger, the enigmatic Mr Sloane.
Provocative and sexually ambiguous, Sloane soon has both Kath and her brother Ed competing for his favours. But all is not as it seems.
Behind Sloane’s nonchalant demeanour lies a calculating psychopath with a dark and secretive past. Seduction, blackmail and murder lie waiting in the wings.
