Performance - Loot
Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 08:00pm
Long Beach Playhouse
5021 East Anaheim Street
By Joe Orton
Directed by Allen Sewell
The bank next to the funeral parlour has been robbed! LOOT is Joe Orton’s masterpiece of dark comedy where we follow the fortunes of two young thieves – Dennis, an undertaker at the funeral parlour, and Hal, his sometime lover, whose Mum just died. When Inspector Truscott turns up, they need a place to hide the loot. But with the money in Mum’s coffin, there’s no place for Mum, whose body keeps reappearing at the most inopportune times. Aided and abetted by Mum’s former nurse, Fay, and trying to put one over on Hal’s gullible father, the duo prove that nothing is sacred in a farce that seethes with black, baleful mirth.
