What the Butler Saw Reviews

“Orton was often described as the enfant terrible of London in the late 1960s, a time when attitudes were becoming more relaxed and the world was becoming more permissive. Orton was at the forefront of this revolution and the most interesting thing to note about this play now, is that in some ways, attitudes have gone backwards. Something written 55 years ago now seems both grotesquely distasteful, and yet also frighteningly relevant. London Classic Theatre has been exceptionally brave to revive this play. Orton was always a provocateur and it is testament to his skills as a writer that it still manages to provoke over half a century later. His script is intelligent, wordy, and very funny. Jam-packed with one-liners and satirical barbs, it is certainly not for the faint-hearted. It is brought to life brilliantly in this production and is perhaps even more relevant now than it was in 1969.”
