This beloved play has a unique history—it was written by Joe Orton and it premiered in 1964. During this time, the Lord Chamberlain was censoring scripts before their staging, and he was not happy with this play. DC Theatre Arts wrote, “Orton recalled with relish that the Lord Chamberlain had made him take out all the heterosexual naughty bits but left the homosexual ones behind—presumably not noticing they were there.”
