Entertaining Mr Sloane
- 2hrs 30mins

Closed
Tell him to put some trousers on. Cantering around the house with a bare bum… Can’t leave you alone for five minutes.
When lonely Kath offers the mysterious Mr Sloane a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dada remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit.
Nadia Fall launches her first season as Young Vic Artistic Director with Joe Orton’s 1964 cult classic brimming with manipulation, seduction, and a devilish wit. Starring Tamzin Outhwaite (Abigail’s Party) as Kath and Jordan Stephens (Rizzle Kicks) as the enigmatic Mr Sloane.
