Prick Up Your Ears, GFT, 18 – 20 August, 2017

Successful playwright Joe Orton was a true English eccentric: a controversial provocateur who rose from a working class Leicester lad to the toast of swinging ‘60s London, before his promising future was violently cut short at the hands of his jealous long-term partner, Kenneth Halliwell. Gary Oldman oozes charm as Orton, delivering catty one-liners and scandalous sexual taunts from a screenplay by award-winning British playwright Alan Bennett (The Lady in the Van). Prick Up Your Ears is an unflinching view of gay life in ‘60s London and a captivating portrait of an artist cut down in his prime.
