Joe Orton
(Preusmjereno sa stranice Džo Orton)
John Kingsley ("Joe") Orton (Leicester, 1. januar 1933–Islington, London, 9. august, 1967.) bio je engleski dramatičar, čiju su opus obilježile zapažene crne komedije kojima je skandalizirana publika 1960-ih. Život i karijeru mu je obilježila homoseksualna veza s glumcem Kennethom Halliwellom koji ga je 1967. ubio u nastupu ljubomore.
Ortonov život je godine 1978. opisao John Lahr u knjizi Prick Up Your Ears na temelju koje je Stephen Frears 1987. režirao igrani film s Garyjem Oldmanom u ulozi Ortona.
