Description NAUSEATED. As a playgoer of forty years may I sincerely agree with Peter Pinnell in his condemnation of 'Entertaining Mr Sloane'. I myself was nauseated by this endless parade of mental and physical perversion. and to be told that such a disgusting piece of filth now passes for humour. Today's young playwrights take it upon themselves to flaunt their contempt for ordinary decent people. I hope that the ordinary decent people will shortly strike back! Yours sincerely, Edna Welthorpe (Mrs,) (alter-ego of Joe Orton)
