Lunacy presented with a poker face is the engine driving this classic comedy, which combines satirical verbal jousting reminiscent of Oscar Wilde with the frenzied energy of farce. “Loot” famously flopped in 1965, closing on tour before making it to the West End, but it was resurrected in London the next year with a new cast and hailed as a work of distinctive brilliance. The play takes place in the drawing room of the recently widowed McLeavy (Jarlath Conroy), who is dazed with grief and smothered with brisk affection by Fay (Rebecca Brooksher), the nurse who had been attending his ailing wife and who has calmly set her sights on making poor McLeavy the next in her long line of husbands. “One a year on average since I was 16,” she says. “I’m extravagant you see.”
