When the young, attractive Joe Orton meets the older, more introverted Kenneth Halliwell at drama school, he befriends the kindred spirit and they start an affair. As Orton becomes more comfortable with his sexuality and starts to find success with his writing, Halliwell becomes increasingly alienated and jealous, ultimately tapping into a dangerous rage.
A poignant and darkly witty exploration of a passionate, destructive relationship. It captures the bohemian spirit of 60s London with a sharp, often heartbreaking, look at ambition, love, and the devastating cost of creative jealousy.
