Posh by Laura Wade, opens 23 May 2012, following previews from 11 May - running to 4 Aug 2012. (The drama orginally ran at the Royal Court Downstairs in Apr/May 2010).

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.

Welcome to the Riot Club.
Jumpy by April De Angelis, opens 28 Aug 2012, following previews from 16 Aug - running to 3 Nov 2012. (The drama orginally ran at the Royal Court Downstairs in Oct/Nov 2011).

Now her protests tend to focus on persuading her teenage daughter to go out fully clothed.
