Joe Orton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Orton was born in Leicester to a working class family, and grew up on the Saffron Lane council estate with a younger brother, Douglas, and two younger sisters, Marilyn, and Leonie. |
 | | Orton met Kenneth Halliwell at RADA in 1951, moving into a West Hampstead flat with him, and two other students, in June of that year. |
 | | Orton was still on an absolute high, however, and over the next ten months revised The Ruffian on the Stair and The Erpingham Camp for the stage as a double called Crimes of Passion, wrote Funeral Games, the screenplay Up Against It for the Beatles, and worked on What the Butler Saw. |
