It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye-literally! Hub Theatre Company of Boston will kick off its third season this spring with Joe Orton’s irreverent and amoral dark farce, Loot, at the First Church in Boston March 27-April 12.
Poor Mr McLeavy! It's the day of the funeral and his late wife won't stay in her coffin. The nurse - a seven-time widow - fancies him as her latest “late” husband. His ne'er-do-well son and his “friend” are pursuing new careers as bank robbers and a nosy representative from the water board (or so he claims) is asking some very probing questions and making everyone quite nervous indeed!
In this tour de force of bad taste, taboos, and high farce, nothing and no one is safe from Orton’s wicked wit! Inspired by the trial of the infamous police detective Harold "Tanky" Challenor, notorious for his brutality and planting of evidence, Loot satires The Roman Catholic Church, social attitudes to death, police brutality and everything in between. This show will make you laugh but its message will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.
Hub Artisitic Associate Daniel Bourque directs some of Boston's finest actors including the Hub's Artistic Director, IRNE Award winner John Geoffrion, as well as Sean Cooper, CJ David, Tom Grenon, Kevin Paquette and Meredith Stypinski.
