Tragically, life mirrored art and, after the suicide of his ex-partner, Little Britain star Matt Lucas has withdrawn from Simon Bent’s new play about anarchic playwright Joe Orton’s final years.
He played Kenneth Halliwell (now Con O’Neill), the jealous lover who bludgeoned Orton (Chris New) to death before taking a fatal overdose.
Gwen Taylor’s caring neighbour adds a comic touch to this solid but unenlightening drama.
Comedy Theatre, Panton St, SW1Y 4DN TUBE: Piccadilly Circus (0844 871 7622). Until Nov 28. £10-£55
