By Joe Orton
Kath and her elderly father, Kemp, live in a house on the outskirts of a rubbish dump. Their drab existence is
interrupted by the arrival of a new lodger, the enigmatic Mr Sloane.
Provocative and sexually ambiguous, Sloane soon has both Kath and her brother, Ed, competing for his favours.
But all is not as it seems. Behind Sloane’s nonchalant demeanour lies a calculating psychopath with a dark and
secretive past. Seduction, blackmail and murder lie waiting in the wings...
Entertaining Mr Sloane
was first staged at the Arts Theatre, London in 1964, winning the London Critics
‘Variety’ award for Best Play of the Year. Its unique blend of farce and black comedy beautifully captures
the suppressed desires of the period. This revival of LCT’s 2003 production of the play celebrates the
50th Anniversary of Orton’s classic black comedy.
With thirty critically-acclaimed productions since their touring debut in April 2000,
London Classic Theatre
have established a reputation for producing bold,
imaginative theatre of the highest quality. The company, led by founder
and Artistic Director Michael Cabot, produces challenging, accessible
drama for audiences in London and the regions.
