Stephen Frears directs this biographical drama focusing on controversial British playwright Joe Orton, revealed in flashback after his murder by lover Kenneth Halliwell. Born in 1933 in Leicester, in the English Midlands, John 'Joe' Orton moves to London in 1951, to study at RADA, and enjoys an openly gay relationship with Halliwell in their famous Islington flat in the 1960s. However, when Orton achieves spectacular success with such plays as 'What the Butler Saw' and 'Loot', Halliwell begins to feel alienated and the pair's future looks increasingly uncertain. false 2018-10-08 00:48:46 Prick Up Your Ears John Kane Stephen Frears plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=d53UnYmd3vw 7.3 1987 R tt0093776 27857 1987-04-17 1987-04-17 94 110 United Kingdom Drama civilhand https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/movies/27857/movieposter/prick-up-your-ears-5bd92081e61fb.jpg Gary Oldman Joe Orton Actor /var/lib/emby/metadata/library/dc/dceb072cfddc46388ea27f103719558f/folder.jpg Alfred Molina Kenneth Halliwell Actor /var/lib/emby/metadata/library/c5/c5ea1632f5da42e282ed8f5469fe3827/folder.jpg Vanessa Redgrave Peggy Ramsay Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/d54lz6HNQus505pi4uWyhsFfSU5.jpg Frances Barber Leonie Orton Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/4yidelE9PA8L1COtiYQ2T3ltsRH.jpg Lindsay Duncan Anthea Lahr Actor /var/lib/emby/metadata/library/79/79f3ac3f579641a688c088cb34ac52bf/folder.jpg Julie Walters Elsie Orton Actor /var/lib/emby/metadata/library/8c/8c69b4f313d641c5886f5e8b36158083/folder.jpg Wallace Shawn John Lahr Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/tiiz0t7fFiaeoujUyejzIiLRYpu.jpg Janet Dale Mrs. Sugden Actor Dave Atkins Mr Sugden Actor Garry Cooper Mr. Sloane Actor Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/wCh9z2Gb8ciz4k56h3OvbzKnnhh.jpg Roger Lloyd Pack Actor 2 Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/iF9b0wRykPT5nFOImS1A5w8HJ3c.jpg Sean Pertwee Orton's Friends Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/mHNlvnrlFvNddFY6isD0S40lAIu.jpg Helena Michell Orton's Friends Actor Selina Cadell Miss Battersby Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/uBWVnwS6bGyyGDRY98gsIO4P1p.jpg Neil Dudgeon Policeman Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/uf8IjOiWa8JMrS8pz0heSuDOdEG.jpg Richard Wilson Psychiatrist Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/zmhxfoHI8KkZFBKMEt9b89DPK5p.jpg Steven Mackintosh Simon Ward Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/3TQVLNfMiiBAcoaCbmWckxXqagN.jpg Karl Johnson Douglas Orton Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/qV0nk2EGTonsNCOm8xPF4RuaoK5.jpg David Bradley Undertaker Actor /var/lib/emby/metadata/library/66/663ecac97df543f992c26d90ad20649e/folder.jpg Joan Sanderson Anthea's Mother Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/yutQEI66F6tPoYJmDs01P5VozU0.jpg Spencer Leigh Constable Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/YZLWvqXDu8Th4YbTHW5sIeN40t.jpg Neville Smith Police Inspector Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/bbNQp7QXw39zBkrCRV5mP2JXV2G.jpg John Salthouse Chauffeur Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/1iSdAOISq0OXhnX0Q3kiiRlEpO3.jpg David Cardy Brian Epstein Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/65qD1gTjou1Ob9ZYq0gnIn67nGN.jpg John Moffatt Wigmaker Actor Charles McKeown Mr Cunliffe Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/1NnGOXieF8BFIjwzUFS9NTxFYUR.jpg Margaret Tyzack Madame Lambert Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/gZgVXY3WszU2dcEL0CwmdKAf7Vd.jpg James Grant William Orton Actor Eric Richard Education Officer Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/k7IYhJIBjlLtz5wn77GWvBY3iQm.jpg William Job RADA Chairman Actor Rosalind Knight RADA Judge Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/zWSZkSFcezm78Eu8iPnd3a65XkL.jpg Angus MacKay RADA Judge Actor Linda Spurrier RADA Instructor Actor Charlotte Wodehouse Janet Actor Bert Parnaby Magistrate Actor Liam De Staic Brickie Actor Antony Carrick Counsel Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/gKVo3HwfC8hKh8pBqgtrAOxDn1b.jpg Christopher Guinee Publisher Actor Stevan Rimkus Kenneth Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/vgaNZIZTZXSL1JK7NRRcpcb8hvL.jpg Michael Müller BBC Actor Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/9UPaqYRVSESux2quJm6hSH84OhH.jpg Anthony Douse BBC Actor 2 Actor Joanne Connelly Stage Manager Actor Noel Davis Philip Actor Philippa Davies Peggy Ramsey's Secretary Actor Julie Legrand Gallery Owner Actor Jane Blackburn Woman in Gallery Actor Stella Richman Woman in Gallery 2 Actor Jonny Phillips Youth Outside Lavatory Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/9d7aKSqfqXHWaETmTKifetsekDa.jpg Richard Ireson Man Outside Lavatory Actor Ahmed Elgheur Moroccan Boy 1 Actor Moktar Dagmouni Moroccan Boy 2 Actor Sian Thomas Marilyn Orton Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/220cKR23YU9Fcx8UhdFmb1py5p7.jpg Stephen Bill George Barnett Actor Max Stafford-Clark Awards Chairman Actor Simon Adams Undertaker's Boy Actor Mark Brignal Beatle's Chauffeur Actor Robin Hooper Mortuary Attendant Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/u0oHEbLc8YgGWuguVCa0RMvJEFL.jpg Derek Jarman Patrick Proktor Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/nXuLV68yaQnQuWmEZFU6mVzyh0C.jpg tt0093776 srt srt eng progressive False False
