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. Posh is a satirical play about power, politics and privilege, and how these elements interact within British institutions.

This production comes to Royal & Derngate from the 3rd Year BA Acting students at the University of Northampton.
