Play based on the lives of Joe Orton & Ken Halliwell - this is the 2009 production about the 2 lovers from the 1960’s … Ken Halliwell (played by Matt Lucas) is the jealous boyfriend, rejected thespian to the successful Joe Orton. It all ends in murder.
Joe Orton is best remembered for Loot! and Entertaining Mrs Sloane
