BWW Reviews: ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE - A Definitive Joe Orton Production @ the Actors Company
by Don Grigware - Jul 6, 2011

Long before the term dysfunctional family took flight, there was Joe Orton. Long before crude and obscene behavior became the norm ... there was perpetrator Joe Orton. In 1964 Entertaining Mr. Sloane played in a small underground theatre in London, as its portrayal of sexually explicit and violent behavior was too radical, in fact, illicit for West Enders. All that changed quickly and Orton's dark, depraved views came to broader light, and the rest, as they say, is history. Now a thoroughly authentic production of the play puts the Actors Company in the forefront of top-notch LA theatre.
