What the Butler Saw
by Joe Orton
April 24 - May 17, 2008

The Prentices are not an ordinary couple. In Joe Orton’s modern comic masterpiece, Dr. Prentice is a psychiatrist with his own hospital who believes that the best way to interview a girl for a job is to seduce her. Geraldine does her best to comply, but nothing is going to work smoothly in this nut house that includes Mrs. Prentice, a nymphomaniac who is seduced by a bellhop in a hotel, or maybe it's vice versa.

"Hilarious, outrageous... It dazzles!... Wonderfully verbal, toying with words as if they were firecrackers." N.Y. Times. "Brilliant, witty, the funniest show so far this season." NBC TV. "Madly antic humor." AP . "Hilarious.... Joe Orton's best comedy." CBS.
