A black farce masterpiece, Loot follows the fortunes of two young
thieves, Hal and Dennis. Dennis is a hearse driver for an
undertaker. They have robbed the bank next door to the funeral
parlour and have returned to Hal's home to hide-out with the loot.
Hal's mother has just died and the pair put the money in her
coffin, hiding the body elsewhere in the house. With the arrival of
Inspector Truscott, the thickened plot turns topsy-turvy. Playing
with all the conventions of popular farce, Orton creates a world
gone mad and examines in detail English attitudes at mid-century.
The play has been called a Freudian nightmare, which sports with
superstitions about death - and life. It is regularly produced in
professional and amateur productions. First produced in London in
1966, Loot was hailed as "the most genuinely quick-witted, pungent
and sprightly entertainment by a new, young British playwright for
a decade" (Sunday Telegraph). The Student Edition offers a plot
summary, full commentary, character notes and questions for study,
besides a chronology and bibliography.
