his biography 'prick up your ears' is a fine piece of work, amazingly poignant in places especially when read in tandem with the orton diaries. read 'em before watching the film. he wrote a screenplay for the beatles that was never used which is in print and his plays are worth a read. very english. that's a good thing.

Get the F&F Collected Plays, you won't stop lauging from start to finish.

The f9ilm version of "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" is very funny, and they even managed to make it more macabre than the original.
