The doctor is way in
In the vein of Oscar Wilde, Joe Orton’s sex farce What the Butler Saw brings the wit and laughs to the hilarious world of mental health. A lecherous psychiatrist, a cross-dressing policeman and hapless asylum patients all get their moment in the comedy by the gay British playwright’s final play before his death. Oh, and we hear a particular body part has its own crucial scene.
