Loot

By Joe Orton

Two young thieves hide stolen money in a coffin, leaving a corpse with nowhere to go. When the body reappears and Inspector Truscott closes in, turmoil escalates. Joe Orton’s Loot is a masterful black farce, skewering authority, greed, and morality with outrageous humour and brilliantly anarchic wit.

Farce
