...SCRIPT is not flawed with too many of these self-indulgent gimmicks, and for that reason, Orton deserves praise for his cleverness in handling gruesome material; especially his use of double-entendres to remind his audience that lust and filthy lucre stand behind every moral platitude. Excessive length and repetitiveness are the major drawbacks Loot has as a play, but a failure of momentum must, inevitably, hobble black comedy unless a compelling basis for suspense gives coherence to the dramatic situation.
