Omid Djalili, Tim McInnerny, Samantha Bond and Georgia Moffett lead the cast of Sean Foley's production, which also features Jason Thorpe and Nick Hendrix.

Orton's final play, completed in July 1967 less than a month before he was killed by his partner Kenneth Halliwell, premiered at the West End's Queen's Theatre in March 1969.  According to press materials, "when psychoanalyst Dr. Prentice (McInnerny) instructs his new secretary (Moffett) to undress, little does he expect to be interrupted by his wife (Bond), her blackmailing lover, a meddling government inspector Dr Rance (Djalili) and an inquisitive policeman (Thorpe). But hiding a naked woman is the least of his worries, as libidos run riot, identities are swapped and social decorum is buried."

His film credits include "The Mummy," "Gladiator," "Spy Game," "Mean Machine," "Modigliani," "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," "Casanova," "Pirates of the Caribbean:  At World’s End," "The Love Guru," "The Infidel" and "Sex and the City 2."  TV credits include "Small Potatoes," "Dinutopia," "Whoopi" and "The Omid Djalili Show."
