The August 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of Orton’s murder, in 1967, by his lover Kenneth Halliwell. The summer of 2017 also marked the 50th anniversary of the (partial) decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. Those two anniversaries do not completely frame what I want to say in this paper, but they haunt it a little. %I University of Leicester
