Naughty Fun,

This review is from: What the Butler Saw a Play in Two Acts (Paperback)
People say that Orton is similar to Wilde, but I think he can better be described as a funnier version of Harold Pinter. I enjoyed this play, though I'm not sure I'll read Orton's other work.

This review is from: What the Butler Saw a Play in Two Acts (Paperback)
If you do not read or see any other Orton play, you should not pass on this one. I saw it in the local theater and they pretty much followed the script. I do not want to go into detail as the surprises; twists and dialog are what make the play. However this is a comedy similar to Oscar Wilde's style in the fact that it is a series of mismaners with unique situations and plot twists.A little info: The first London performance of "What the butler saw" was at the Queen's Theatre by Lewstein-Delfont Productions Ltd. And H.M. Tennent Ltd. On 5 Mar 1969. |
