Synopsis |
|
The tragic, true story of flamboyant
British playwright Joe Orton, from
his days as a drama student, through
his meteoric rise to fame in British
theatre, to his violent death at the
hands of his envious lover Kenneth
Halliwell. Gary Oldman portrays the
rebellious Orton, who rose to
success in the 1960s with his plays,
LOOT and WHAT THE BUTLER SAW. Orton
charmed theatrical society while
living illegally as a homosexual,
dangerously taking lovers and street
hustlers, and living with his
long-term collaborator Kenneth
Halliwell (Alfred Molina) whose rage
and envy prompted him to violently
murder Orton in 1967. |
