Theatre: , Thriller

How Much: £45.00 (Highest Price) , £19.00 (Lowest Price)
Two of Britain's favourite TV stars in an old-fashioned, creepy thriller from the 1960s? We're in.

Joe Orton's classic play combines a trademark satirical eye for British social conventions, with genuinely unsettling storyline that descends from sibling rivalry to blackmail and murder.

The cast for this revival features Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake, Shakespeare in Love, etc...) and Matthew Horne (Gavin and Stacey) in a tale of a brother and sister who take in a mysterious lodger, and rapidly become embroiled in abattle for his affections.

Acutely observed and rendered here with a perfect retro '60s design, this is one of the more exciting revivals of early 2009.
