What The Butler Saw

by Joe Orton

performed by BTG May 1997

A Farce

Dr. Prentice, a sex obsessed psychiatrist, is attempting to seduce a prospective secretary but is frustrated by the arrival of his nymphomaniac wife, an over enthusiastic hospital inspector and a dim witted policeman.

The clinic becomes a bedlam of mistaken identity, undressing and cross dressing, dropped trousers and heightened libidos as the true traditions of classic farce are spiked with Orton's unmistakable subversive glee.

Production dates were Wednesday 14th May to Saturday 17th May 1997.
