Posh Tickets
Duke of York's Theatre
Laura Wade’s smash-hit play Posh returns to the stage once more, this time for a limited run at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre. A searing commentary on Britain’s upper-class, deep-pocketed, ultra-privileged, Posh follows ten young men who plan a revolution at a dinner party. Directed by Lyndsey Turner, Posh stars some of London’s finest upcoming actors.
Laura Wade’s smash-hit controversial comedy Posh transfers to London’s Duke of York’s Theatre after an acclaimed run at the Royal Court. Directed by Lyndsey Turner, Posh transfers as part of a season of Royal Court shows to arrive in the heart of the West End. A searing take on Britain’s class system, Posh is the pertinent play that brings to light the rotten core of old money and the ultra-privileged.
Taking place in an oak-panelled room of the esteemed Oxford University, ten young men with cut-glass vowels and ridiculously deep pockets are meeting to restore their clear right to rule. All members of an elite student society, the boys prepare themselves for a wild night of debauchery, decadence and destruction. But this is no ordinary dinner party, as the self-proclaimed Riot Club plot to plan a revolution of the rich.
Casting includes some of the best young potentials in the industry, including Max Bennet (Danton’s Death), Leo Bill (Posh, Royal Court), Pip Carter (The Cherry Orchard), Jolyon Coy (Posh, Royal Court), Richard Goulding (The Soldier), Edward Killingback, Harry Lister Smith (Hamlet), Henry Lloyd-Hughes (The Inbetweeners), Charlotte Lucas (Posh, Royal Court), Joshua McGuire (Hamlet), Tom Mison (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen), Jessica Ransom (Doc Martin), Steffan Rhodri (Gavin & Stacey) and Simon Shepherd (Art).
Directed by acclaimed Royal Court director Lyndsey Turner (Contractions), Posh is a new play by Laura Wade, a graduate of the Royal Court Young Writers Programme. Winning the Critics’ Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright for Breathing Corpses, Wade is one of Britain’s most current writers. Posh is also currently being adapted into a feature film. Loosely based on one of the most notorious clubs in England, Posh is the savvy, sharp and searing exploration of the upper-upper class, opening at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre for a limited run.
