 Entertaining Mr. Sloane, a CurtainUp review
Sloane first hit the London stage in 1964 and sent this new style angry young playwright's career soaring -- only to bring it to a freakish halt just three years later when the thirty-four-year-old Orton was bludgeoned to death by his lover.
Sloane, craftily plays off the brother and sister's lust for him to his own advantage, but the twists and turns in this little triumvirate's interactions leads to a deadly power play that ends badly for Dadda (who recognized Sloane from a previous unsavory encounter) and brings out the worst in everyone.
As the father whose insistence on exposing Sloane, his final scene is one that remains dark and disturbing.

Kath is perversely attracted to Sloane, who reminds her of the son she lost, and welcomes him into her house, and before long, into her bed.

 Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Entertaining Mr. Sloane - 3/16/06
Sloane at the Laura Pels Theatre, the ripples of giddy excitement that emanate from the stage are of the chatteringly infectious variety that kindergarteners might summon when they hear a forbidden swear word in a new context.
Sloane (Carmack) half-naked for the first time, adopts girlish and motherly attitudes that contradict and reconcile themselves in ways you thought were reserved for the interactions of matter and antimatter.
But when Sloane turns out to be, shall we say, not as nice as he looks, darned if Kath doesn't display maternal self-preservation on par with that of Rose in Gypsy.

 Entertaining Mr Sloane
Horrified but still in lust with Sloane, Eddie seizes the occasion to his advantage, agreeing to make his father's death look like an accident in return for what is essentially a sexual timeshare of Sloane between himself and his sister.
For the ultimate reversal of power to Eddie and Kath to have its full impact, Sloane has to be believably in control of the opening scenes.
On this evidence the Tower Hill theatre company are not bad actors, and Entertaining Mr Sloane is still a powerful and disturbing play, but Despina Sellar's decision to play the script as a bedroom farce does somewhat undermine the impact the production could potentially have had.
