Posh at the Royal Court Theatre

Event: Posh
Date: April 9th to May 22nd

Put ten young men with cut-glass vowels, bags of money and a sense of their own self-importance together and what do you have?

A recipe for disaster, or as they call themselves, the Riot Club.

These boys believe they have the right to rule and will stop at nothing to make the world dance to their tune.

Members of an elite Oxford dining club, they meet in an oak-panelled room for a night of debauchery, decadence and a drop or two of wine.

However, this is not just an evening of merriment, this is where they will formulate their plan to take over Oxford and anywhere else they fancy.

Posh is the latest work from Laura Wade, a graduate of the Royal Court Young Writers Programme, who scooped the Critics' Circle Award for most promising playwright in 2005 for her first play Breathing Corpses.

Theatre lovers are in for something special, however, even greater treats await them at the luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace.

Unlike the Riot Club, they can enjoy Champagne instead of wine in the most wonderful and peaceful surroundings to be found anywhere in the capital with the Get More From Your Stay package.

Those who prefer can opt for a three-course carvery dinner instead of the Champagne or a romantic turndown complete with chocolate-dipped strawberries, rose petals and floating candles.
