"Orton still hits all the targets dead centre over half a century later" ★★★★ ReviewsGate
"It's the mark of great writing that it morphs into something of new relevance each time it's revived. Such is the case with Loot. Based on this surefooted revival we can safely conclude that, yes, Joe Orton's plays could still outrage establishment thinking. But now that the liberal intelligentsia dominate theatre going he shocked tonight's appreciative, highly entertained audience in ways he couldn't possibly have predicted." ★★★★ TopLondonTheatre.com

"a farcical comedy that’s a laugh a minute" ★★★★ TheGayUK
"Intensely funny and dark in equal measure, Loot packs one hell of a punch - If you like your comedy dark and your slapstick daring: this is the play for you" ★★★★ Gay Times
"Laughter is a serious business, and comedy a weapon more dangerous than tragedy. Which is why tyrants treat it with caution." Joe Orton
"Orton’s great black comedy often seems prophetic in its satirical depiction of the state intruding ever deeper into the personal liberties of its citizens." Daily Telegraph
"Comic absurdity & sheer nastiness are fused with style & wit, Loot is given a raucous revival by Michael Fentiman" Mature Times
"Loot spirals inventively into the higher reaches of preposterousness, false reasoning and sheer lunacy. A delectable amusement." Evening Standard
