About this show:

“...quick-witted, pungent & sprightly entertainment.” - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Hal and his friend Dennis have robbed a bank next door to a funeral parlor and decide to stash the loot in what they think is an ideal hiding place — the coffin of Hal’s recently-departed mother. To make room for the cash, though, they must discreetly dispatch Mum’s remains to a wardrobe cabinet — at least for starters. Further complications ensue as the tediously tenacious Inspector Truscott comes to call; ill luck befalls the coffin; and Mum keeps getting in the way. Through it all, the increasingly desperate lads struggle to keep their cool and not leave any incriminating details hanging.

Called a “Freudian Nightmare” and a masterpiece of macabre farce, LOOT is a wild-eyed parody of detective fiction that flicks wicked barbs at conventions of death, religion, and justice. Forty years after its premiere, it remains one of the most indelible works from the scandalous pen of Joe Orton.


(I'm playin' "Hal", playa's. We preview tonight, and I'm thinking that we're about as ready as we'll ever be, yo. Come on. Don't be shy. You know you wanna see my pants.)
