This was Orton's final play, which was hailed as a comedy classic of English literature. It contains enough twists and turns, mishaps and changes of fortune, coincidences and lunatic logic to furnish three or four conventional comedies. But however the six characters in search of a plot lose the thread of the action - their wits or their clothes - their verbal self-possession never deserts them. Hailed as a modern comedy every bit as good as Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Orton's play is regularly produced, read and studied.
John Kingsley Orton, known by the pen name of Joe Orton, was an English playwright, author, and diarist.
