I suppose I'm a believer in Original Sin. People are profoundly bad
but irresistibly funny' Joe Orton. This volume contains everything
that Orton wrote for the theatre, radio and television from his
first play in 1964, The Ruffian on the Stair, up to his violent
death in 1967 at the age of 34. It includes his major successes:
Entertaining Mr Sloane, which 'made more blood boil that any other
British play in the last ten years' (The Times); Loot, 'a Freudian
nightmare', which sports with superstitions about death - as well
as life; his farce masterpiece, What the Butler Saw; The Erpingham
Camp, his version of The Bacchae, set in a Butlin's holiday resort;
together with his television plays, Funeral Games and The Good and
Faithful Servant. The volume includes a revealing introduction by
John Lahr, Orton's official biographer."He is the Oscar Wilde of
Welfare State gentility" (Observer)
