Matt Lucas
plays Kenneth Halliwell alongside
Chris New as
playwright Joe
Orton and
Gwen Taylor as
Mrs Corden, in Daniel
Kramer's production of Prick Up
Your Ears, a new play by
Simon Bent
inspired exclusively by the John
Lahr biography and the diaries
of Joe
Orton.
1962. Halliwell and Orton – RADA
graduates, aspiring writers, and sometime
lovers – plot
their rightful place at the centre of London's
literary scene whilst engaged in a secret
crusade
to 'improve' the local library books, and
acting out their own versions of popular
radio
dramas... But Joe is about to become the most
notorious comic playwright since Oscar
Wilde,
whilst Ken is reduced to sharing Joe's success
with their neighbour Mrs Corden
over tea and battenburg.
This darkly funny and moving play
imagines the sensational story behind Joe and
Ken's
domestic life, trading well–trodden insults and
hilarious put–downs like any old married
couple.
*Valid Tues - Fri performances
and Sunday matinees until 23 October
A £1.75 booking fee per ticket will
