		During the night of August 9, 1967, Halliwell bludgeoned the 34-year-old Orton to death with nine hammer blows to the head, and then committed suicide with an overdose of 22 Nembutal tablets washed down with the juice from a tin of grapefruit.
		Halliwell had felt increasingly threatened and isolated by Orton's success, and had come to rely on anti-depressants and barbiturates.

		Kenneth Charles Williams (22 February 1926 - 15 April 1988) was a British comic actor, star of over twenty Carry On...
		Kenneth Williams was born near Euston station, London, the son of a hairdresser.

	'Prick Up Your Ears' (R)
		Wallowing in the sordid minutiae, the movie focuses extensively on Orton's carousing lavatory escapades -- he was an indiscriminate pickup artist -- and it carries with it the stink of the urinals.
		It was at RADA that Orton first met Halliwell, and though he claimed to have had his first homosexual experience at 14, his preferences weren't as set as they later would be.
		His mother died when she was stung on the tongue by a wasp, and at 18, he came downstairs to find Daddy with his head in the oven.

		Halliwell began to feel that he was receiving no recognition for what he saw as the sacrifice of his life.
		Halliwell was, in a way, like the loyal wife who slaves at ill-paid jobs to put her husband through medical school, only to have the man divorce her after he's successful because they have so little in common - he with his degree, her with dishwater hands.
		In the case of Orton and Halliwell, there is the sense that their deaths had been waiting for them right from the beginning.

		(Halliwell bashed his 34-year-old partner's skull nine times with a hammer in their London apartment and then killed himself with an overdose of 22 Nembutal sleeping pills.) Since that first stage success, Orton styled his roughhouse rebellion along the lines of the British theatre's prototypical Angry Young Men.
		The nadir in Orton and Halliwell's rascal activities took place in 1962 when they were both charged with five counts of theft and malicious damage of more than 70 books from the public library.
		They were fined and sent to prison for six months for stealing books, defacing the cover art, clipping out hundreds of plates and pictures from art books to decorate their cramped apartment, concocting fake jacket blurbs as well as pasting lewd drawings and strange images into books which they returned to the shelves.

	Perspectives
		Halliwell wears a silk robe and stays wrapped in bedclothes during most of his scenes.
		Halliwell, alternately speaking in a depressed monotone and screeching like a howler monkey, complains that Joe’s new-found fame as a playwright is ruining their relationship.
		While Halliwell began as a mentor — educating and molding the working-class Orton — he quickly became little more than a maid as Orton’s reputation grew.

		Orton lived with the lumbering, awkward Kenneth Halliwell, whom he met at drama school.
		Halliwell was initially the more successful of the pair, but his decline corresponds with Orton's rise to stardom.
		When Orton's sister, combining the ashes of the pair, worries that she has put too much of Kenneth's ashes to too few of Joe's, she is informed by Redgrave, "It's a gesture dear, not a recipe." Bennett's dialogue is better than his construction though.

	Eye Weekly - Theatre - Live With It - 11.26.98
		The playwright's acid-tongued attacks on the mopey and self-pitying Halliwell fly convincingly from the tongue of actor Blair Williams (The Fruit Machine, The Soldier Dreams), although Orton's Leicester upbringing is not mirrored by Williams' Liverpudlian accent.
		Orton is portrayed as a cute and naughty diamond-in-the-rough, driven to attacking the untalented and unbearable Halliwell.
		Perhaps this was intended to denote Halliwell's preoccupation with his wayward lover, but I'd argue that this sort of visual clue isn't necessary in a play obsessed with obsession.

		Although Kenneth Halliwell inspired his intellect, he was never faithful to him.
		Joe and Kenneth had been utterly devoted to eachother for 10 years until the local library finally got sick of them defacing books and adding rude verses to book jackets.
		Joe stood a distance away from Kenneth and of course, the first man to come along strode right past Kenneth to his better half.

	glbtq >> literature >> Orton, Joe
		His move to London was a pivotal moment in his life, serving as the beginning of his real career as a performer and writer and as his introduction to fellow RADA student Kenneth Halliwell, who would become his mentor and lover.
		Halliwell encouraged Orton to read and study literature and had a great impact on the development of Orton's creative abilities.
		As Orton became a famous, though controversial, figure in London theatrical circles, Halliwell grew increasingly alienated and distraught, largely as a result of the continuing rejection he faced as both a writer and a visual artist and of his poor self-image as an older, heavier, and balding companion to the boyish Orton.

	Prick up your ears. - movie reviews National Review - Find Articles
		THE PLAYWRIGHT Joe Orton, whowas bludgeoned to death in 1967 by his lover, Kenneth Halliwell, after a 16 years' relationship, is the subject of the most explicitly and exultantly homosexual mainstream film in the English language, Prick Up Your Ears.
		Halliwell, who was good-looking butbegan losing his hair by age 23, was an unsuccessful novelist, playwright, and (later) collage-ust, who nevertheless was able to stimulate and help develop his lover's talent.
		In the movie, Halliwell hammers away at his lover's back--not, as in reality, his head: It was Orton's brain, not his body, that he especially envied and desired.

		In Because we're Queers: The Life and Crimes of Kenneth Halliwell and Joe Orton, (1989), Simon Shepherd criticised the way that the lives and relationship of Kenneth Halliwell and Joe Orton were described, particularly by John Lahr.
		"Halliwell's influence seems to be dominant in Lord Cucumber, a romp in the manner of Ronald Firbank.

		Halliwell, who was living off an inheritance at the time, took Orton under his wing.
		Halliwell could fairly be described as a well-educated misfit, a failure in the eyes of the world and himself.
		Halliwell's influence notwithstanding, Orton's style is unique, inimitable: a kind of dumb insolence out-loud, elegantly incisive, bordering, at times, on the poetic.

	The Retold Orton Murder Gets Another Telling
		The story of Orton and Halliwell is well-known, thanks to the far superior telling of it in "Prick Up Your Ears," Stephen Frears's well-received 1987 film, based on John Lahr's biography of the same title.
		The dissembling Halliwell makes the mistake of confessing his homosexuality to a prison psychiatrist, who notes it in Halliwell's permanent record, an action that according to Mr.
		Before their death scene, however, Orton and Halliwell join the agent and the detective in a naughty, dreamlike burlesque about the rampant concealment of nasty little secrets.

	FILM: JOE ORTON'S LIFE, IN 'PRICK UP YOUR EARS' - New York Times
		LIKE John Lahr's 1978 biography of Joe Orton, the English playwright, the screen adaptation of ''Prick Up Your Ears'' comes immediately to the harrowing point: Kenneth Halliwell's hammer-murder of Orton, his lover and friend; his own suicide, and the subsequent discovery of the bodies.
		Because the film is either unable or unwilling to deal with the plays, the audience is left to discover wispy reminders of the Orton style, manner and method in isolated scenes from so-called real life.
		Molina's Halliwell is a sad, seemingly impotent Dracula, right from the beginning of their friendship.

	Prick up your ears
		Blackly funny biographical look at the relationship between Joe Orton (Gary Oldman), the homosexual British satirical playwright of the '60s, and Kenneth Halliwell (Alfred Molina), the failed actor who was his lover and, ultimately, his murderer.
		Alfred Molina plays Orton's brutish lover Kenneth Halliwell, a pathetic figure who becomes horrific and then tragic before the film is over.
		The hilarity of the scenes in such Orton plays as Loot and What the Butler Saw is evenly balanced by the bleakness of the playwright's tormented (and tormenting) offstage existence, which ended suddenly at age 34 with half a dozen blows to the head from a hammer.

		As told in flashbacks from the vantage point of Orton's agent (Vanessa Redgrave) and biographer (Wallace Shawn), the conclusion of Orton's and Halliwell's relationship is a foregone one; what remains is for the viewer to sit back and watch the water come to a boil.
