LOOT Park Theatre, Finsbury

Joe Orton, variously described as the Oscar Wilde of Welfare State gentility, the Douanier Rousseau of the criminal suburbs and the Grandma Moses of the rubbish dump, was no respecter of the Roman Catholic Church, the Police or indeed the Dead. Loot, which premiered in 1965, is an outrageous mixture of black farce, violence, sex and bad taste; comic absurdity and sheer nastiness are fused with style and wit. It’s given a raucous revival by Michael Fentiman.
