LOOT by Joe Orton
LOOT, a masterpiece of English comic dramaturgy where, in addition to the misadventures of two clumsy and unscrupulous thieves, he criticizes the corruption and lack of integrity of the police forces, in a satire on mourning and social rituals.
LOOT is an exemplary text in terms of the strangeness of the dramatic work that Joe Orton bequeathed us, and a fundamental piece of English comic dramaturgy of the second half of the 20th century.
The misadventures of Hal and Dennis, two clumsy and unscrupulous thieves, unfold in a dark comedy scene when they decide to remove Mrs. McLeavy, Hal's mother, recently deceased - in order to hide in the bier the loot resulting from the duo's latest robbery.
The deceased's nurse, the widow Fay several times (who has already had seven husbands, all of whom died in mysterious circumstances), shows suspicious love intentions towards the widower McLeavy...
The appearance of Inspector Truscott from Scotland Yard and his interrogation of family members in search of clues about the theft, turn out to be decisive in the surprising outcome of the play.
