Laura Wade Plays 2: Posh; Home, I’m Darling; The Watsons; Kreutzer vs. Kreutzer

The second collection of work by Olivier award-winning British playwright Laura Wade, bursting with her trademark satirical humour and her sharp, witty insight into gender and privilege.

Posh (2010): the cult sensation which propelled Laura Wade onto the national stage and inspired the film The Riot Club (2014). Based on Oxford’s real-life Bullingdon Club, the play unfolds during an evening of debauchery in an all-male elite student dining society.

Kreutzer vs. Kreutzer (2010): a play for voices to be performed with an orchestra, re-imagining Tolstoy’s The Kreutzer Sonata as an intimate two-hander.

Home, I’m Darling (2018): a dark comedy about marriage and relationships, following one woman in the quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife. Winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.

The Watsons (2018): a sparkingly funny new take on the unfinished Jane Austen novel, catapulting the characters into a contemporary context whilst dealing with questions of authorship and writer’s block.
