Joe Orton's "Entertaining Mr Sloane" at the Young Vic

Details

Come join us at the theatre for cult gay playwright Joe Orton's "Entertaining Mr Sloane" at the Young Vic in Waterloo. Ticket prices range from £12 to £57. You will need to purchase a ticket directly from the theatre which you can do here.

I will be at the theatre from 18.00, and will reserve a table in the bar nearer the time (as well as figure out how to make myself identifiable). Full casting not yet released, but Tamzin Outhwaite confirmed who put on a belting performance as the ghastly Beverley in Theatre Royal Stratford East's revival of "Abigail's Party" last year.

Blurb about the play from the Young Vic is as follows:

"'Tell him to put some trousers on. Cantering around the house with a bare bum… Can’t leave you alone for five minutes.'

When lonely Kath offers the mysterious Mr Sloane a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dada remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit.

Nadia Fall launches her first season as Young Vic Artistic Director with Joe Orton’s 1964 cult classic brimming with manipulation, seduction, and a devilish wit."
