Imelda Staunton and Mathew Horne star in a revival of Joe Orton's wickedly biting 1964 comedy taking mischievous peep at the hypocrisy behind the new permissive society of the 1960's.
Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake, Cranford, Shakespeare in Love) and Mathew Horne (Gavin and Stacey, The Catherine Tate Show), star in Joe Orton's fiendishly dark comedy for a strictly limited West End season.
It may be Swinging 60's London but out in the suburbs, Kath is lonely. Craving love and affection, plain and simple Kath and her bachelor bother, take a lodger. Soon, both become infatuated with the shady young tenant with a murky past - Mr Sloane.
Behind closed doors, a web of dark secrets, blackmail and betrayal is quickly spun, leaving Mr Sloane at the centre of an outrageous threesome in which he is a prisoner of desire and sexual jealousy.
Originally staged in 1965, Joe Orton's wickedly biting comedy sparked controversy with its mischievous peep at the hypocrisy behind the new permissive society of the 1960s and the British fascination with sex.

Now showing at Trafalgar Studios Theatre

Trafalgar Studios Theatre
14 Whitehall
London

Designed by Edward Stone. This Theatre opened on 29th September 1930 with "The Way to treat a Woman"by Walter Hackett.

Formerly the Whitehall Theatre, Trafalgar Studios is two new theatre studios under one roof in the heart of the London's West End. Opening with the RSC's production of Othello at the end of May, the larger space has approximately 380 seats. Othello was followed by the Watermill Theatre's acclaimed production of Sweeney Todd.

Architects Tim Foster and John Muir have created two new intimate and dynamic theatre spaces that will inject a new energy and excitement into the venue and into the West End allowing The Ambassador Theatre Group to host a much wider range of entertainment than has previously been possible in commercial theatre.

The Whitehall theatre opened in 1930 with a transfer of The Way to Treat a Woman by Walter Hackett (also the theatre's licensee). He presented several more highly successful plays of his own until leaving in 1934, and the theatre continued to build its reputation for popular modern comedies throughout the 1930s. During the war this tried and tested formula was rejected in favour of revue shows, which were all the rage elsewhere in London's West End. In 1942, The Whitehall Follies was launched, featuring a non-stop performance by Phyllis Dixey - audiences flocked in, mostly due to the fact that the celebrated Miss Dixey was famous for being the first stripper in the West End!
