CGiii Comment

A re-tracing of Joe Orton's haunts via a teen football match - an interesting premise if Orton's work had managed to survive into the current century.

Alas, his farces died not long after he did - his diaries whipped up some interest due to their candid revelations but faded.

Nurrish has ressurrected Orton but only for a few minutes - valiant and, perhaps, redundant.
