What the Butler Saw Wilmington’s production of “What the Butler Saw” by Joe Orton was a hilarious masterpiece. The Wilmington college drama production group under the direction of Michael G. Bath created an excellent and amusing production of the play. What The Butler Saw, was a comedy based in the late sixties in London, England. The play began in swift fashion and unfolded at a good pace, which helped keep the audience involved in the play. I myself was a little skeptical of the play going in based on the fact that it is a British comedy which has always been a chore for me to follow them, this one ended up working out for me. I have not seen many plays before and “What the Butler Saw” was a nice splash of warm water to get my feet wet. The set of the play was very well assembled, and laid out to allow the actors to enter and exit at different areas of the stage. This helped with the illusion of looking into a doctor’s office at a mental ward that would have several entrances. The furniture used in the play resembled the style of the sixties that would have been customary in play, out, butler, saw, related, plays, going, family, comedy, characters, being, been, actors, under, title, thinking, storyline, sixties, sexual, seen, production, over, oscar, one, office, myself, mother, london, just, joe, house, helped, having, good, ended
