I didn't actually think it was bad. Very funny, if a bit too daft at times. Don't let the reviews put you off completely

I've always felt that I haven't "got" Joe Orton plays when I've seen them and I went to see this with feet shuffling reluctance - I didn't enjoy an amdram production of it I saw locally several years ago.

So I was really surprised that I enjoyed this too. Just when I was about to give up on Joe Orton this will encourage me to persevere some more.
