Beskrivning

The second collection of work by Olivier award-winning British playwright Laura Wade, bursting with her trademark satirical humour and her sharp, witty insight into gender and privilege. Posh (2010): the cult sensation which propelled Laura Wade onto the national stage and inspired the film The Riot Club (2014). Based on Oxford's real-life Bullingdon Club, the play unfolds during an evening of debauchery in an all-male elite student dining society.Kreutzer vs. Kreutzer (2010): a "play for voices" to be performed with an orchestra, re-imagining Tolstoy's The Kreutzer Sonata as an intimate two-hander.Home, I'm Darling (2018): a dark comedy about marriage and relationships, following one woman in the quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife. Winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.The Watsons (2018): a sparkingly funny new take on the unfinished Jane Austen novel, catapulting the characters into a contemporary context whilst dealing with questions of authorship and writer's block.
