WHAT THE BUTLER SAW

By Joe Orton
Directed by Art Manke

This hilarious farce by the insatiably funny Orton is a classic comic masterpiece with slapstick action, mistaken identities, slamming doors, surprise plotlines and, above all, Orton’s subversive wit and breakneck dialogue. WHAT THE BUTLER SAW takes place in the exclusive, private mental health clinic of Dr. Prentice who is attempting to seduce his attractive prospective secretary when his wife comes home, interrupting his sordid intentions and kicking off a maniacal tour de force for the doctor and some unexpected guests that day.
