Prick Up Your Ears
A celebration of outrageous British playwright Joe Ortonβs irreverent and charismatic talent, starring Gary Oldman and Alfred Molina.
Director: Stephen Frears
Overview
A celebration of outrageous British playwright Joe Ortonβs irreverent and charismatic talent, starring Gary Oldman as Orton and Alfred Molina as his lover, Kenneth Halliwell. It is the controversial story of one of the young turks of the 1960s - from working class boy to national celebrity, from sexual innocent to grinning satyr, from penniless student to peer of the Beatles and icon of Londonβs swinging sixties. Orton made his success by mocking the rules of the establishment and lived his life ignoring them.
