Description
Mike and his van work odd hours for irregular contracts; Joyce has given up her profession for a home. Enter Wilson, a cocky young man seeking help in exacting a violent and idiosyncratic revenge. Joe Orton was known for his scandalous black comedies and in this, one of his earliest plays, the themes of sex, violence and death are shown playing themselves out in the everyday lives of Mike and Joyce and in Wilson, whose love for and loss of the man he calls his brother provides the catalyst for the disruption that unfolds.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
