UON BA Acting: Posh

In an oak-panelled room in a rural Oxford gastropub, ten young undergraduates with cut-glass vowels and deep pockets are meeting, intent on restoring their right to rule – and on getting totally “chatueaued”. Members of The Riot Club, an elite student dining society, the fraternity starts to fray when they discover they’re a guinea-fowl short and the prostitute they’ve hired is suddenly banished.

An apparent spoof on Oxford’s notorious Bullingdon Club, whose past members include Boris Johnson, George Osborne and David Cameron, Posh is a satirical play about power, politics and privilege, and how these elements interact within British institutions.
