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 just a jolly: they're planning a revolution.
Welcome to the Riot Club.
Posh played to 100% capacity at the Royal Court and remains one of the highest-grossing shows ever to play in the theatre.
The creative team are Writer Laura Wade, Director Lyndsey Turner, Designer Anthony Ward, Lighting Designer Charles Balfour and Sound Designer David McSeveney.
