Pin It

Wild, risqué, and ferociously playful, Joe Orton's riotous farce is one of the seminal works of modern comedy. When a psychiatrist tries to seduce an aspiring secretary, his botched efforts lead to comic bedlam involving his insatiable wife, a randy bellhop, a befuddled police officer and ultimately, the formidable manhood of Sir Winston Churchill. The topics of psychiatry, religion, marriage, government, definitions of gender and even simple language are the target of British playwright Orton's sly jokes and hilarious shenanigans.

Delightfully entertaining production of this somewhat atypical sex farce. Orton's writing is not as funny ha-ha and less physical as most British farces and is based largely on the actors' delivery of his text. This cast does a great job and their pace is just right allowing the audience to savour Orton's craft. Keeping in mind that this is a sex farce, the cast is also aesthetically pleasing and well chosen. Great evening out.

I don't think it was as funny as they probably hoped it would be, but it was still very entertaining. The acting by the entire cast was excellent and made the play that much more enjoyable.
