Loot [A CADOS Production]

LOOT

A CADOS Production

Written by Joe Orton Directed by David Reid

A dark comedy following the fortunes of two thieves attempting to rob the bank next to the funeral parlour.

Hiding the money in the coffin of Hals late mother, Hal and Dennis find themselves in increasingly bizarre situations. Aided by Nurse McMahon and to the despair of Hals father, they must keep the police off their tail while they work on their getaway.

Joe Ortons hectic farce examines class perceptions, behaviour, family attitudes, and a corrupt authority in mid 20th-Century Britain.

A dark tale of a marriage based on deceit and trickery that inspired the phrase gaslighting and is as relevant today as the day it was written.
