- **Event Name**: What The Butler Saw by Joe Orton
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: HumDrum returns to The Spring Arts &amp; Heritage Centre in Havant with Joe Orton’s outrageous comedy What the Butler Saw. 
Set in a psychiatric clinic, this anarchic farce explodes with mistaken identities, sexual confusion, and razor-sharp satire. 

When Dr. Prentice attempts to seduce his prospective secretary while hiding her from his wife, a cascade of chaos unfolds—complete with cross-dressing, blackmail, and a government inspector who’s anything but conventional. 
First performed in 1969, Orton’s final play remains a landmark of British theatre, gleefully dismantling authority and social norms with wit and wild abandon. Its fearless humour and provocative themes still resonate today, making it a must-see for fans of bold, subversive comedy. 

HumDrum’s production promises a fast-paced, high-energy staging that captures the spirit of Orton’s irreverent genius. With performances running from Wednesday 18 to Saturday 21 March 2026—including a Saturday matinee—audiences can expect an evening of laughter, shock, and theatrical brilliance.
Don’t miss this riotous romp through the absurdities of British respectability.

This amateur production of “What The Butler Saw” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
