What the Butler Sawbook now

What the Butler Saw

by Joe Orton

directed by Ian Forrest, designed by Martin Johns

Friday 11 June - Saturday 6 November,

Main House

What really happened in the linen cupboard at the Station Hotel? Why does Dr. Prentice need to borrow one of his wife’s dresses, and why isn’t she wearing one? Why does Mrs. Prentice keep seeing naked men? Why is the drugged body of a police sergeant in the garden? And what happened to the missing parts of Winston Churchill? Orton’s comic masterpiece, a fast, frantically funny, Freudian farce takes to the Main House stage.

Contains nudity, gun shots and sexual references

Audio-described performance: Wed 6 October, 2pm

Captioned performance: Wed 15 September, 2pm
