Published fifty years after the premiere of Entertaining Mr Sloane
in 1964, and with a new introduction, this anniversary edition
offers an opportunity to reappraise Joe Orton's reputation, and the
status of his first major play, from a twenty-first century
perspective. When it first appeared in the Swinging Sixties,
Orton's satire on social and sexual hypocrisy both scandalized and
delighted audiences. Its mix of sexuality and violence was
explosive. Within a year, the play was being performed around the
world and went on to be adapted for film and television,
establishing Orton as a major voice and this play as one of the
most ground-breaking of the century. This anniversary edition
features previously unpublished material from the Joe Orton
Archive, an interview with director Nick Bagnall, and an
introduction by Emma Parker, Senior Lecturer in English at the
University of Leicester.
