Ruffian on the Stair/The Erpingham Camp archive

The Ruffian on the Stair: is a dark and disturbingly violent play. It traces the arrival of a mysterious visitor at Mike and Joyce's flat. The stranger demands a lodging and reveals details of their past which unleashes chaos and murder. The Erpingham Camp: is Orton's version of The Bacchae and a modern parable on Pride. It charts with devastating humour and consequences a revolt by Campers against Redcoats at a 1960's British holiday camp. In 1967 these short plays were revised by Orton for the Royal Court and presented as 'Crimes of Passion'. This was also the year that, Orton's lover brutally beat him to death.
