It's 1964 and when Terry writes to congratulate Joe on the success of his first play, he isn't prepared for Joe to turn up at his Piccadilly apartment, or for the events which follow - sex, love, grief and murder, with a few good laughs on the way. Terry is 20 years older than Joe and while his glittering career is in decline, Joe's is most definitely on the up. Haunted by the playwright Oscar, Terry has become increasingly repressed and isolated, while promiscuous Joe happily sticks two fingers up to the theatrical establishment. While Terry plays with Joe, do Oscar and Joe have their own agenda? Terry, Joe and Oscar are based on the playwrights Terence Rattigan, Joe Orton and Oscar Wilde and the play is set in Rattigans's Albany apartment around the time that Orton's Entertaining Mr Sloane opened. Laurie Slade has drawn inspiration from the playwrights' work, as well as biographical details of their lives to create a seductive and witty play that deals with the universal themes of love and loss.T1057083196Producer Plunge Productions.
