Carry On meets The League of Gentlemen next week at the People’s Theatre in Heaton!

Joe Orton’s bitingly funny black comedy ENTERTAINING MR SLOANE sees the titular sly and handsome conman rent a room from lonely widow Kath.

As Kath and her controlling brother Ed vie for the shady young lodger’s attention, he thinks he has them wrapped around his little finger.

But soon Mr Sloane finds himself entangled in a dangerous game of sex, desire, blackmail and violence.

When it premiered in 1964, this provocative satire on social and sexual hypocrisy stirred up much controversy. And this wickedly sharp and hilarious black comedy still has the power to shock!

ENTERTAINING MR SLOANE runs from Tuesday 19 to Saturday 23 March on the Main Stage.

Tickets are available from the People’s Theatre Box Office on 0191 265 5020 (option 2) and online at www.peoplestheatre.co.uk
