Prick up your Ears Theatre Break

Additional Matinees at 14:30: 14 & 28 October and 11 & 25 November.

Prick Up Your Ears - a darkly funny and moving play imagines what really happened when, after years of creative collaboration, the door slammed shut and Kenneth was home alone. It tells the sensational story behind the domestic life of Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell, holed up in a tiny flat in Islington, trading well-trodden insults and hilarious put-downs like any old married couple.

Please note: Matt Lucas is to play Kenneth Halliwell alongside Chris New as playwright Joe Orton. Final show times are subject to change and specific cast members cannot be guaranteed for every performance.
