Synopsis

London, 1960’s

A charming but secretive young man named Sloane finds himself in the middle of a suburban family drama. Kath, who starts to fancy Sloane, and her scheming brother, Ed, both get entangled with him in a series of manipulations. As they vie for his attention, secrets from Sloane’s past begin to creep up, shaking the shaky ground he stands on. This dark comedy by Joe Orton shows the bizarre and often hidden sides of suburban life with a sharp, humorous edge.
