Photo Flash: First Look at FREDDIE, TED AND THE DEATH OF JOE ORTON

Freddie, Ted and The Death of Joe Orton is about middle-aged Freddie, suffering from undiagnosed OCD, who owns the three-bedroom house which he shares with his younger lover, aspiring musician Ted.

The next three years see the rise and fall of playwright, Joe Orton; Mods and Rockers battle for supremacy across Britain's seafronts; Parliament will partially decriminalise homosexuality in England and Wales; and the closing of pirate radio station Radio Caroline. When Freddie intercepts a life-changing letter addressed to Ted, his fragile hold on reality begins to crumble.

The new play runs at the London Theatre Workshop at Leadenhall Market until 16 December.
