Risqué British Farce What the Butler Saw: A Modern Classic
Mark Taper Forum (Los Angeles, CA)
Wild, bawdy and ferociously playful, Joe Orton’s outrageous farce What the Butler Saw is one of the seminal works of modern comedy. When a psychiatrist tries to seduce an aspiring secretary, his botched efforts lead to comic bedlam involving his insatiable wife, a randy bellhop, a befuddled police officer and Sir Winston Churchill. Psychiatry, religion, marriage, government, definitions of gender and even language are all targets of British playwright Orton’s poison pen. His sly jokes and hilarious shenanigans will have you shaking with laughter from start to finish.
