Editing Joe Orton (section)

===Later works===
Over the next ten months, he revised ''The Ruffian on the Stair'' and ''The Erpingham Camp'' for the stage as a double called ''Crimes of Passion'', wrote ''[[Funeral Games (play)|Funeral Games]]'', the screenplay ''[[Up Against It]]'' for [[the Beatles]], and his final full-length play, ''[[What the Butler Saw (play)|What the Butler Saw]]''.

''The Erpingham Camp'', Orton's take on ''[[The Bacchae]]'', written through mid-1965 and offered to [[Associated-Rediffusion]] in October of that year, was broadcast on 27 June 1966 as the "pride" segment in their series ''Seven Deadly Sins''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joeorton.org/Pages/Joe_Orton_Plays10.html|title=Joe Orton Life and Work|website=joeorton.org}}</ref> ''[[The Good and Faithful Servant]]'' was a transitional work for Orton. A one-act television play, it was completed by June 1964 but first broadcast by Associated-Rediffusion on 6 April 1967, representing "faith" in the series ''Seven Deadly Virtues''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joeorton.org/Pages/Joe_Orton_Plays5.html|title=Joe Orton Life and Work|website=joeorton.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6b43d3fd|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170929055223/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6b43d3fd|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 September 2017|title=The Good and Faithful Servant (1967)}}</ref>

Orton rewrote ''Funeral Games'' four times from July to November 1966. Also intended for ''The Seven Deadly Virtues'', it dealt with [[charity (virtue)|charity]] – Christian charity – in a confusion of adultery and murder. Rediffusion did not use the play; instead, it was made as one of the first productions of the new ITV company [[Yorkshire Television]], and broadcast posthumously in the ''Playhouse'' series on 26 August 1968, five weeks after an adaptation of ''Mr Sloane''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joeorton.org/Pages/Joe_Orton_Plays12.html|title=Joe Orton Life and Work|website=joeorton.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b71c69323|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170929060738/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b71c69323|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 September 2017|title=Funeral Games (1968)}}</ref>

In March 1967, Orton and Halliwell had intended another extended holiday in [[Libya]], but they returned home after one day because the only hotel accommodation they could find was a boat that had been converted into a hotel/nightclub. They spent May and June holidaying in [[Tangier]], Morocco, where they frequently engaged in sex with teenage boys.<ref name=Lahr/>

Orton's once controversial farce ''What The Butler Saw'' was staged in the West End in 1969, more than 18 months after his death. It opened in March at the Queen's Theatre with [[Ralph Richardson|Sir Ralph Richardson]], [[Coral Browne]], [[Stanley Baxter]] and [[Hayward Morse]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O153962/what-the-butler-saw-artwork-anderson-lindsay/|title=What The Butler Saw – Anderson, Lindsay – V&A Search the Collections|website=collections.vam.ac.uk|year=1975 }}</ref>
