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. The play is published here as a Methuen Drama Student
Edition with commentary and notes by Henry Bell. Posh premiered at
the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2010 and two years later opened
in the West End. It was nominated for Best New Play at both the
Evening Standard Awards and for the Theatregoers' Choice Awards. It
was subsequently made into a film called The Riot Club (2014),
starring Sam Claflin, Max Irons and Douglas Booth.
