Entertaining Mr. Sloane
by Joe Orton
Winner of the London Drama Critics Award for Best Play

Blowsy landlady Kath and her sexually repressed brother Ed rent Sloane a room and proceed to "entertain" him by seducing the seemingly hapless young man. But when their old Pa recognizes Sloane for what he is, a feckless murderer, an hysterical sibling rivalry begins that ends with the ultimate dispensation of Mr. Sloane's services.

"... Orton's black comedy upends the conventions of drawing room entertainments, channeling the wit of Oscar Wilde while approximating the cool societal evisceration of Harold Pinter ..." - Sacramento Bee. To read the full review, click here.
