Pinter the early springboard. The Homecoming flipped this. Bloody marvellous!

Goraigh an Hagat - Thank you very much for this upload. Be if poets, musicians, playwrights or authors, I've a particular fondness for earlier and often lesser-known works or the œuvre termed "juvenilia" by critics of great artists within each genre. I appreciate the intensity, immediacy and sense of claustrophobia evoked by Orton's sparse and nearly-naked cast narrative in this underrated work of his. Howard Campbell-Downes 🇮🇲

Hi Hendryk, thanks very much for posting. I am a huge Orton fan and have read this as a play - it is fantastic to be able to hear this as an original radio version. It is important to preserve these historic pieces for posterity: one can clearly see the evolution to Entertaining Mr Sloane and Orton's later work.

Huge thanks to Hendryk for putting this online. The similarities with Pinter are obvious and this is a fine example of the realist trend in radio drama.

I read this play ages ago. So nice to hear it in the intended format. Also, I never noticed the strong influence by The Birthday Party in the writing until now.

This totally for its era original radio play is hilarious.The sub-text needs to be understood constantly. If you do this when listening or reading or watching the two versions you will die laughing. Orton did! The written-for-stage version of this play is more sharpened in its wit and its acerbic re-written sub-text and is re-structured for the physical stage. It is even more of a total comical send-up. Again in more ways than one! Orton was going to use the title Prick Up Your Ears for an unwritten, projected work of art. The title is germane to a radio audience here!

@@scottandrewbrass1931 PRetty substantial rewrite. The stage play's dialogue is significantly different.
