Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw
Orton’s masterpiece of farce is set in a psychiatrist’s office, in which sanity is hard to come by.
The play takes the conventions of the genre and blows them up. Orton’s take on farce is subversive — not merely fast-paced, but anarchic.
“Hilarious, outrageous...It dazzles!...Wonderfully verbal, toying with words as if they were firecrackers.” The New York Times
