Entertaining Mr Sloane

LIVE at the Grand Theatre Blackpool Monday 16 June to Saturday 21 June

Joe Orton’s scandalous comedy Entertaining Mr Sloane books into Blackpool’s Grand Theatre from Monday 16 June to Saturday 21 June with razor sharp satire and more than a touch of danger.

Middle-aged, lonely landlady Kath and her elderly father Kemp live in a house on the outskirts of a rubbish dump. Their drab existence is excitingly interrupted by the arrival of a new lodger – the enigmatic Mr Sloane. Provocative and sexually ambiguous, Sloane soon has both Kath and her brother Ed fiercely competing for his favours. But all is not as it seems. Behind Sloane’s nonchalant demeanour lies a calculating psychopath with a dark and secretive past. Seduction, blackmail and murder lie waiting in the wings…

Entertaining Mr Sloane was first staged at the Arts Theatre, London, in 1964 winning the London Critics Variety award for Best Play of the Year for its creator, the renowned English playwright Joe Orton.  Its unique blend of farce and biting black comedy beautifully captures the suppressed desires of the period and still holds the power to shock 50 years on.

With thirty critically-acclaimed productions since their debut in 2000, London Classic Theatre have established a reputation for producing bold, imaginative theatre of the highest quality.
