Edited and introduced by John Lahr, The Orton Diaries collects the candid private journals of British playwright Joe Orton, together with selected correspondence written under the persona Edna Welthorpe. Written during the final months before Orton’s murder in 1967, the diaries document his theatrical career, relationships, sexual encounters and sharply comic observations of British society.
