About Joe Orton
- John Kingsley Orton (1 January 1933 – 9 August 1967), known under the pen name of Joe Orton, was an English playwright, author and diarist.
- His public career—from 1964 until his death in 1967—was short but highly influential.
- During this brief period he shocked, outraged, and amused audiences with his scandalous black comedies.
- The adjective Ortonesque refers to work characterised by a similarly dark yet farcical cynicism.
