What The Butler Saw
Event Date: 07/10/2018, 05:00 pm
“You were born with your legs apart. They'll send you to the grave in a Y-shaped coffin.”
Orton lays out a smorgasbord of politically-incorrect taboos in deliberately bad taste, attacking society’s hypocrisy and the established order with his delicious brand of outrageous and subversive provocation.
Highly controversial when it premiered in 1969, What The Butler Saw retains its ability to shock, even though what society deemed unacceptable 50 years ago has fluctuated over time. The play remains a joyous and very, very silly celebration of queerness.
Winner: Evening Standard Award for Best Play
Winner: Obie Award for Best Foreign Play
“Joe Orton's richest and funniest play” Michael Billington
Following our production of Orton’s Entertaining Mr Sloane in 2012, we are delighted to be giving this, his final play, a long-overdue Sydney revival, with director Danielle Maas making her New Theatre debut.
