Sit back, feel uncomfortable and despise the rich...

Laura Wade’s ‘Posh’ has been claimed to be one of the most edgy political plays of recent times. With characters based on our MP's and their infamous club of debauchery! This being said, the cast have taken it upon themselves to become the most edgy, gritty characters that this play can comprehend. Swapping their native accents into the overbearing, received pronunciation, (we all know as RP), each cast member has the ability to become the snobby, pretentious beings that are, the Riot Club; and what a Riot this has been.

From banging tables, to smashing sh*t up, everyone has taken this piece in their stride. Rehearsals run fluidly, with Warren Tutt taking the lead, directing everyones motives through each section of the play (there are a lot of sections!). Aside this, each Oxford ‘lad’, with distinct attributes that forward their character, allow our actors to witness life through the eyes of the Riot Club boys, and to see what life can be like if money wasn’t a problem. However we don’t want to ruin the surprise…

So, all we can say now is sit back, feel uncomfortable, despise the rich and be prepared for the clash of the classes.
