Joe Orton was an English playwright whose farcical comedies are noted for their cynical dark humor. By the late 1960s, works displaying the humor characteristic of Orton began to be described as "Ortonesque." Birmingham audiences are in for a special treat with LOOT.

Synopsis: As a completely unethical detective closes in, charming young reprobates Hal and Dennis frantically attempt to hide the money they have stolen from a local bank. Meanwhile Hal's deceased mother lies in state. The solution? Move the corpse and stash the ill-gotten lucre in the coffin. The result? Sordid mayhem from one of Britain's funniest playwrights. Orton's cheeky masterpiece is a subversive satire on love, death, faith, authority, and the pursuit of ... LOOT! Adult language and situations.
