Acting flashback. One of my favourite roles to play was as Joe Orton in “Ortonesque” (now renamed “Mr and Mrs Orton”) in it’s short tour.
It’s a role I’d love to reprise one day!

Joe Orton’s classic scandalous dark farce Loot is coming to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch this February
Two thieves attempt to hide stolen money in Joe Orton’s classic, scandalous, dark farce, Loot, playing at Queens Theatre Hornchurch from February 19 to March 7. A darkly funny, biting satire of the Roman Catholic Church, social attitudes to death, and the integrity of the police force, Loot follows young thieves Dennis and Hal, who rob the bank next door to the funeral parlour where Dennis works and hide the stolen money in Hal’s mother’s coffin.

Born 1 Jan 1933, playright Joe Orton. His plays frequently satirized authority, hypocrisy and sexual repression.
Entertaining Mr Sloane (1964) was his 1st major stage success, which shocked audiences with its themes of sexual manipulation and murder. He was murdered in 1967, aged just 34. #JoeOrton
