Loot

Get ready for a wickedly funny night at the theatre as Joe Orton’s scandalous dark farce Loot bursts onto the stage.

A bank robbery, a family funeral, and a coffin with a shocking secret – nothing is off limits in this mischievous comedy of chaos! When a daring heist goes spectacularly wrong, the money ends up in the most unlikely hiding place, and the lies begin to pile up fast. What follows is a whirlwind of cover-ups, confusion and sheer audacity as everyone scrambles to stay ahead.


Orton’s masterpiece is packed with razor-sharp dialogue, physical mayhem and twists that spiral towards the absurd. Daring, dark and unmissably funny, nothing is off limits in this mischievous comedy of chaos!
