The London Classic Theatre Company

Kath and her father live in a house on the edge of a rubbish dump. When their drab existence is interrupted by the arrival of a new lodger, the attractive, enigmatic Mr Sloane, it's not long before Kath and brother Ed are competing for his attention.

But all is not as it seems. Behind Sloane's nonchalant demeanor lies a calculating psychopath with a dark and secretive past. Seduction, blackmail and murder is waiting in the wings.

Entertaining Mr Sloane was first staged at the Arts Theatre in London in 1964, winning the London Critics' Variety Award for Best Play of the Year.

Its unique blend of farce and black comedy beautifully captures the suppressed desires of a society on the cusp of a sexual revolution.
