Special Offer: LOOT at Edge of the Universe Theater
Joe Orton's LOOT is "CRIMINALLY BRILLIANT"
Click for Tickets!
Joe Orton’s Loot represents one of the most audacious achievements in twentieth-century British theatre — a dark comedy that both embodies and satirizes British social mores, and probes the nature of authority, religion, and morality through razor-sharp dialogue and uproarious physical comedy.
First staged in 1965, the play follows two young men who rob a bank and, desperate to conceal the loot, stash it in a coffin. This incident triggers a farcical, anarchic chain of events involving a spectacularly corrupt police inspector, a predatory nurse, and a grieving, oblivious widower. Loot is much more than a bank-heist comedy; it’s a master class in controlled chaos, provocative, subversive, and wickedly funny.
