Joe Orton
John Kingsley Orton, known by his pen name Joe Orton, is an English playwright, author and columnist. His public career - from 1964 until his death in 1967 - was short but influential. In this short period of time, he shocked, indignantly, and amused audiences with his outrageous black comedies. The adjective Ortonesque refers to a work characterized by an equally dark but eccentric cynicism.
