Entertaining Mr Sloane
By Joe Orton
2 -- 25 July
State Theatre Company of South Australia
Dunstan Playhouse, Adelaide Festival Centre
This classic black comedy stars Jacki Weaver as lonely middle-aged Kath, who begins an affair with a handsome young lodger, Mr Sloane. When Kath's brother, takes a mutual interest in the lad, Sloane is wily enough to play the siblings off against each other. Only their father could threaten this cosy situation, but maybe even that can be sorted.
Written on the cusp of the sexual revolution, Joe Orton raised innuendo to new and thrilling heights. Entertaining Mr Sloane is a gloriously witty romp full of sly sexiness and racy naughtiness.
