Joe Orton weekend

So I've been hanging out with some of my friends in Brighton this Easter.

Visiting one of them, we went to Amnesty International and the Kemptown flea market and managed to purchase Prick Up Your Ears, the biography of Joe Orton by John Lahr and The Orton Diaries, edited by the same man.

Today, we also found the film of Prick Up Your Eyes.

Orton is a fascinating man, who wrote about his sexual desire and his sexual conquests at length in his diaries, no holds barred. Have dipped in while in various pubs and they are a good read.
