WHAT THE BUTLER SAW!!



Brighton's ever-popular and innovative theatre/tea room/cabaret space the Emporium has come up trumps once again with a short run of the hilarious farce What The Butler Saw starring Brian Capron (Coronation Street, Where the Heart Is, Grange Hill)!

Talking Scarlet present 'What The Butler Saw'


Joe Orton's final play is a hilarious farce which revolves around Dr. Prentice, a psychiatrist attempting to seduce his attractive prospective secretary, Geraldine Barclay. As part of the job interview he convinces her to undress. When his wife enters, he attempts to cover up his activity by hiding the girl behind a curtain. His wife, however, is also being seduced and blackmailed by a Nicholas Beckett. She therefore promises Nicholas the post as secretary, which adds further confusion, including Nicholas and Geraldine dressing as the opposite sex. Dr. Prentice's clinic is then faced with a government inspection ...

What follows is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention as these ingredients form the basis for a perfect recipe of outrageous confusion!
