Entertaining Mr Sloane, by Joe Orton

Joe Orton, one of the more controversial British playwrights of the twentieth century, wrote
this play in 1964 with a young Richard Briers starring. It was adapted into a successful film
version in 1970. Murder, homosexuality, bisexuality, nymphomania, and sadism are among
the themes of this black comedy focusing on a brother and sister who become involved with
a young, sexy, amoral drifter with a mysterious past. So.. a most appropriate theme for a
calm April evening out in Lyme Regis!

A Message from the organiser Chris Gill

We have now established a tradition of reading a play once a month at the Marine Theatre, which is kindly providing the venue free to support community drama. We have a small group of regular attenders and we are always pleased to welcome new people, whether they want to read or just listen. The selection for April to June is varied and exciting as usual and driven by the suggestions of our regular attendees. If you want to go on our circulation list or have any questions about the meetings, please contact Chris Gill through the Marine Theatre.

Please remember to bring with you a paper or screen copy of the script if you wish to read. We are not able to provide copies.

This is a free but ticketed event.
