Mike Bartlett's hilarious and irreverent new comedy uncovers a decadent world of sex, hypocrisy, parties and power.

It's the event of the season and the fame-hungry have come to play, but not all is what it seems when a web of lies and mishaps risk exposing the reputation of London's elite.

Artistic Director Rachel O'Riordan directs this Restoration comedy for the 21st Century, celebrating a spectacular return to the theatre with a 12-strong ensemble, an exquisite score and the finest couture.

A party that will no doubt have all of London talking.
