What the Butler Saw

Company : Compton Players
Date : 21 April 2010

Compton's saucy six

Compton Players: What the Butler Saw, at the Coronation Hall, Compton, from Wednesday, April 21 to Saturday, April 24

Excellent posters showing a Bamforth-type curvaceous girl made it clear, along with the warning that this was unsuitable for children, what the audience could expect. Adultery, incest, blackmail and a broken statue of Winston Churchill all feature in Joe Orton's comedy and it still manages to be hilarious.
