Entertaining Mr Sloane
by Joe Orton
directed by Stephen Jarrett

Runs through Sunday, December 13, 2015

at the Writer's Center in Bethesda

Washington Post: ..."McGee’s mercurial Sloane is a winning gambit for this effective production of Joe Orton’s 1964 propriety-flouting play."

From among a multitude of very different scripts suggested by various directors, our Board chose this dark comedy from the 1960’s. It’s British playwright Joe Orton’s tale of people desperately searching for love, but weaving an outrageous tangle of lust, deceit, and violence in its place. We find it a commentary on morality and pragmatism in the worst sense. The story leads to questions about the structure of civilization. It’s also hilarious in many places.

The cast:

    Claire Schoonover as Kath
    Matthew Aldwin McGee as Sloane
    David Bryan Jackson* as Kemp
    Jim Jorgensen* as Ed
