Plot

Loot is a black farce written in 1965. Basically, a parody of a stock detective play, Loot presents a pair of young male lovers who have robbed a bank and hide the loot in the coffin of one boy's mother - who had been murdered by her nurse who plans to marry the father before disposing of him in turn.

A bent detective, posing as a Water Board official, completes the main cast. Contrasts between the manner of the dialogue (often quite formally stylised) and the substance of the situation, opportunities for hilarious business with the body to prevent discovery, and other farcical devices keep the laughs coming.
