UON BA Acting: Posh
Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DPIn 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. Presented by the 3rd year BA Acting students from the University of Northampton
