Directed by **Steven O’Shea**, *Loot* represents Orton at the height of his creative powers. Winner of the Evening Standard’s Best Play award of 1966, it subverts the conventions of popular farce to create a nihilistic, dark, anarchic world which attacks the most entrenched conventions of English society and culture: authority, justice, religion and death.

This production will be in the studio theatre and is set to feature cast members **Emmie Spencer**, **Alistair Lock**, **Frank Leon**, **Jonny Parlett**, **Andy Bell** and **Tristan Wolfe**.
