Entertaining mr sloane, paperback/joe orton

Entertaining Mr Sloane was first staged in 1964.

Despite its success in performance, and being hailed by Sir Terence Rattigan as the best first play hed seen in thirty odd years, it was not until the London production of Loot in 1966 - less than a year before Joe Ortons untimely death - that theatre audiences and critics began to more fully appreciate the originality of Ortons elegant, alarming and hilarious writing.

Introduced by John Lahr, the author of Ortons biography Prick up Your Ears, Entertaining Mr Sloane is now established as an essential part of the repertoire of the modern theatre.
