PREVIEW: Joe Orton’s LOOT at NVT this January

Graham Robson December 30, 2015

Loot, gay playwright Joe Orton’s macabre masterpiece of black comedy, will be showing at the New Venture Theatre, Hove from January 15–23, 2016.

Loot

Directed by Steven O’Shea, Loot represents Orton at the height of his creative powers. Winner of the Evening Standard’s Best Play award of 1966, it subverts the conventions of popular farce to create a nihilistic, dark, anarchic world which attacks the most entrenched conventions of English society and culture: authority, justice, religion and death.

This production will be in the studio theatre and is set to feature cast members Emmie Spencer, Alistair Lock, Frank Leon, Jonny Parlett, Andy Bell and Tristan Wolfe.


Event: Loot by Joe Orton

Where: New Venture Theatre, Bedford Place, Hove, BN1 2PT.
