What The Butler Saw by Joe Orton

 

 

Director Archie Wilson

 

The play consists of two acts, and revolves around a Dr Prentice, a psychiatrist attempting to seduce his prospective secretary, Geraldine Barclay. The play therefore opens with the doctor examining the beautiful Geraldine Barclay in a job interview. He convinces her to undress as part of the interview. The situation becomes more intense during Dr Prentice's supposed "interview" with Geraldine Barclay when Mrs Prentice enters. When his wife enters, he attempts to cover up his activity by hiding the girl behind a curtain. His wife however is also being seduced and blackmailed by Nicholas Beckett. She therefore promises him the post as secretary, which adds further confusion.

Dr Prentice's clinic is then faced by a government inspection. The inspection, led by Dr Rance, reveals the chaos in the clinic.
