Posh: Modern Plays

Autor Laura Wade
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2021
"I've got a new law for you mate, it's called survival of the fittest, it's called fuck you we're the Riot Club."In an oak-panelled room in Oxford, ten young bloods with cut-glass vowels and deep pockets are meeting, intent on restoring their right to rule. Members of an elite student dining society, the boys are bunkering down for a wild night of debauchery, decadence and bloody good wine. But this isn't the last huzzah: they're planning a takeover. Welcome to the Riot Club.

Recenzii

While Wade's play reminds us that many of the upper-class continue to enjoy the sound of broken glass, its success lies in harpooning the way power operates through a succession of nods and winks in our supposedly open, egalitarian society.
What an outstanding talent ... Her feel for character is exceptionally keen and she also writes excellent gags.
Nearly a decade on from its blistering Royal Court premiere and subsequent West End transfer, Laura Wade's incisive dissection of the entitled upper classes in their Oxford University playground feels as relevant and disquieting as ever ... As a piece of political theatre, the message is blunt to the point of brutal. These people - with their expectation to rule; their conviction that money can buy them out of any problem, and their inherent, blind faith in their own superiority - are pretty despicable characters and we trust them with the future of the nation at our own peril ... Perhaps it should even be compulsory viewing for members of the government.
