Review: MATES IN CHELSEA, Royal Court
burbThe Royal Court was the first stage for Lucy Wade’s biting satire Posh, which focused on the lack of consequences of the poor and entitled behaviour of certain members of the upper classes.

Unfortunately, Rory Mullarkey’s new play wastes every opportunity to say anything novel.
