The language at times at the feel of Gertrude Stein, and other times Alan Ayckbourn, but never quite reaches the sublime levels that would imply. The nature of the sexual themes also place them squarely in the 60s, during the sexual revolution. There is charm and wit here, and if the playwright had lived longer, he might have honed it to a truly sharp edge. As it is, there is a lot to like. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

''I suppose I'm a believer in Original Sin. People are profoundly bad but irresistibly funny' Joe Orton. This volume contains everything that Orton wrote for the theatre, radio and television from his first play in 1964, The Ruffian on the Stair, up to his violent death in 1967 at the age of 34. It includes his major successes- Entertaining Mr Sloane, which 'made more blood boil that any other British play in the last ten years' (The Times); Loot, 'a Freudian nightmare', which sports with superstitions about death - as well as life; his farce masterpiece, What the Butler Saw; The Erpingham Camp, his version of The Bacchae, set in a Butlin's holiday resort; together with his television plays, Funeral Games and The Good and Faithful Servant. The volume includes a revealing introduction by John Lahr, Orton's official biographer. 'He is the Oscar Wilde of Welfare State gentility' (Observer)'' Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
