What The Butler Saw - One4Review

This Joe Orton play is given an airing by About Turn Theatre Company as part of the Finge this year and I must admit I was looking forward to seeing it, as I remember this as a very funny play. However, one can be disappointed and I have to say I was with this performance. The acting space was far to small for a production that relies farce like at numerous comings and goings and I have not seen so many dropped or fluffed lines since my last visit to a school play. The performers had some redeeming features, Daisy Fellows as the naive would be secretary was excellent throughout, the philandering Dr Prentice, Jonathan Bullock, was convincing most of the time, and occasionally the others had their moments. Hopefully the company were having a bad day, certainly Orton’s play, although a trifle dated is still good, but I’m afraid I left the show feeling slightly short changed. **
