The Stevenage Lytton Players have announced their upcoming production Posh - a dark comedy exploring the power dynamics of a fictional Oxford dining society.

The play, by Laura Wade, runs from Wednesday, April 19 until Saturday, April 22 at the Lytton Theatre.

Posh tells the story of the fictional Riot Club, following a group of 10 privileged young men as they gather for a night of drinking, dining and debauchery at a country pub.

As the night unfolds, the cub's members become increasingly unruly, pushing the limits of their privilege and revealing the ugly truth of their entitlement.

Exploring themes of class, power and privilege, the play is as relevant today as when it was first performed in 2010.

Director Andrew Lee said: "Posh is a challenging play that explores important issues.

"We are excited to bring this production to our stage and are confident that the audience will leave the theatre with much to think about.
