‘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.

POSH premiered in spring 2010 at the Royal Court Theatre. The production was nominated for Best New Play at both The Evening Standard Awards, and at the Theatregoers’ Choice Awards in 2011. The play has been noted and praised for its artful depiction and criticism of elite society at Oxbridge and farther afield.

Theatre Preview: ALICE IN WONDERLAND - THE COLLYWELL RADIO PLAYERS

Following on from the unbridled success of their Supernatural  Drama, “The Canterville Ghost”, the Collywell Radio Players  proudly offer you, in their own inimitable style, “Alice in Wonderland” a fairy tale of a little girl who passes into another world.

Specially adapted for ‘Radio’ by local author, Graham Barrington-Hartley, we bring forth, for your listening pleasure the story of a young girl, Alice, who follows a talking white rabbit down a rabbit whole, and into a different world populated with strange animals and stranger people, putting Alice into magical and sometimes scary situations.  As a member of the audience you will not only see and hear, but be privileged to be a part of this tale for Christmas of fantasy and fun.

In exchange for a paltry amount of money you can possess a ticket which will transport you, with Alice and all the other creatures, into Wonderland and be amazed at who and what you will meet there.
