Tell him to put his trousers on. Cantering around the house with a bare bum . . . Can't leave you alone for five minutes.
When lonely Kath offers the mysterious Mr Sloane a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dadda remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit. Joe Orton's 1964 cult classic brims with manipulation, seduction, and a devilish wit. This edition was published to coincide with the revival in September 2025 at London's Young Vic.Also from
