Bethany Pitts takes the helm of Joe Orton's classic with Simon Startin in the cast
The play follows two young thieves who hide stolen bank money inside the coffin of a recently deceased mother, sparking a whirlwind of lies, cover-ups and chaos. As suspicions grow and a relentless police inspector arrives, the situation spirals into outrageous farce. Packed with sharp satire and mischievous humour, the production embraces the play’s anarchic spirit. This fast-paced staging proves why Loot remains one of the most daring comedies in British theatre.
