Loot
by Joe Orton | directed by Tom Ross
Hailed as a darkly comic masterpiece, Loot follows the fortunes of two young thieves in swinging 60s London. Dennis works for an undertaker and Hal's old Mum has just died. Having robbed a bank, the lads need a place to stash the loot and Mum's coffin seems like the perfect place - but where to stash poor Mum? Playing roughhouse with the conventions of popular farce, Orton creates a world gone mad, hilariously examining hypocritical mores still percolating in our current time.
