What the Butler Saw
- Within the pristine walls of his private psychiatric clinic, Doctor Prentice is interviewing a new secretary who wants the position but seems underqualified
- Mrs Prentice appears flushed and in urgent need of a drink following an illicit encounter with Nick Beckett, blackmailer and bell boy at the Station Hotel
- In the meantime, Doctor Rance, a Government Inspector, and policeman Sergeant Match arrive amidst increasing chaos with searching questions of their own
- What The Butler Saw is Joe Orton’s final, most ambitious play – a masterclass in manic farce and fearless comic writing
- With distinctive characters and a series of improbable situations, prepare to explore comic territory few playwrights before (or since!) have dared to visit
- Contains strong language and subject matter which the playwright very much hoped audiences would find offensive
