Overview

This mesmerizing story of playwright and author Joe Ortonā€™s brief and remarkable life was named book of the year by Truman Capote and Nobel Prizeā€“winning novelist Patrick White

Told with precision and extensive detail, Prick Up Your Ears is the engrossing biography of playwright and novelist Joe Orton. Ortonā€™s public career spanned only three years (1964ā€“1967), but his work made a lasting mark on the international stage. From Entertaining Mr. Sloane to his career-making Loot, Ortonā€™s plays often shocked, sometimes outraged, and always captivated audiences with their dark yet farcical cynicism. A rising star and undeniable talent, Orton left much undone when he was bludgeoned to death by his lover, Kenneth Halliwell, who had educated Orton and also dreamed of becoming a famous writer.
Ā 
Prick Up Your Ears was the basis for the distinguished 1987 film of the same name, directed by Stephen Frears, with a screenplay by Alan Bennett, and starring Gary Oldman and Vanessa Redgrave. A brilliant, page-turning examination of the dueling forces behind Ortonā€™s work, Prick Up Your Ears secured the playwrightā€™s reputation as a great twentieth-century artist.
