Following rave reviews on a pre West End tour Prick up your Ears starring Matt Lucas is now opening at the Comedy Theatre.
This darkly funny and moving play imagines the sensational story behind the domestic life of 60's playwright Joe Orton.
Matt Lucas plays Kenneth Halliwell alongside Chris New as playwright Joe Orton and Gwen Taylor as Mrs Corden, in Daniel Kramers production of Prick Up Your Ears, a new play by Simon Bent inspired exclusively by the John Lahr biography and the diaries of Joe Orton.
1962. Halliwell and Orton - RADA graduates, aspiring writers, and sometime lovers - plot their rightful place at the centre of Londons literary scene whilst engaged in a secret crusade to "improve" the local library books, and acting out their own versions of popular radio dramas... But Joe is about to become the most notorious comic playwright since Oscar Wilde, whilst Ken is reduced to sharing Joes success with their neighbour Mrs Corden over tea and battenburg.
Standard readers can get 2 for 1 tickets to see Prick Up Your Ears, on all performances until Sunday 18 October 2009 at the Comedy Theatre, W1.
