"What the Butler Saw" now thru 7/19

What the

Butler Saw

by Joe Orton

A simply outrageous

British sex farce!

(Don’t say we

didn’t warn you)

  Kathie Meyer, Port Townsend Leader:

"...just what the doctor ordered for this theater season: a good reason to laugh out loud...  You'd be crazy to miss 'What the Butler Saw'..."

  Steve Treacy, Seattle Performs: "" 

"Good casting, complex staging, and fast pacing. Plenty of philandering with no philosophical pondering allowed..."

  Michael Moore, Kitsap Sun:

"Slapstick, but not slapdash... No shortage of funny lines and clever dialogue..."

  Press release and photos...
