Entertaining Mr Sloane at Young Vic

... there is no denying his power as a comic stylist or the play's ability, even after all these years, to leave one pleasurably shocked

Joe Orton's Masterful Comedy Thriller Returns to London

Artistic Director Nadia Fall takes the helm for this new production of Joe Orton's classic play, coming to London's Young Vic Theatre this Fall. Starring Daniel Cerqueira and Tamzin Outhwaite, Entertaining Mr Sloane is a knotty, seductive comedy thriller that keeps audiences guessing at its characters' true intentions.

What Is The Story?

Kath is a middle-aged landlady living in a house by a rubbish dump. When the mysterious and charming Mr Sloane arrives looking for bed and board, Kath is immediately enamoured. But matters soon get complicated as Kath's brother Ed also falls for Mr Sloane, whilst their father harbours suspicions that the young stranger is hiding a violent secret. Entertaining Mr Sloane is a vicious black comedy that shocked initial audiences with its depictions of repressed sexuality and societal behaviours. Even 60 years on from the play's debut, its twists and turns still have great impact.
