Posh
Friday 6th and Saturday 7th October
Weston Studio, The Edge, University of Bath
Directed by Lex Bailey Bradshaw
At points hilarious, at points hard-hitting, overall: amazing! Based on the stories of Oxford's Bullingdon Club, the play focuses on differences in social class and the damaging effects this can have. One trip to a restaurant goes one step too far and the group were never the same again.

A Shakespearian classic that left the audience in stitches, and that wasn't because of the swords! The epitome of mistaken identity comedy was masterfully performed by a cast of look-a-likes. The family of Egeon slowly refound each other and leave everyone with that warm fuzzy feeling inside.
