A MOCKINGBIRD TOO PRODUCTION

PRIVILEGE DRINKS DEEP — AND THE WRECKAGE IS OURS TO WATCH.
A savage, darkly comic dissection of power, entitlement and the cost of rule.

Enter the Oak-panelled, tailcoat-clad enclosure of The Riot Club — ten polished undergraduates gathering for their quarterly feast in a country pub, convinced that birthright grants them dominion over all. Posh by Laura Wade (later adapted as The Riot Club on film) plunges into that one fateful night when entitlement, excess and secrecy collide.

As wine flows and inhibitions slip, the line between elite tradition and brute violence fades. What begins as ritualised revelry slides into entitlement unmasked — and the fallout is merciless. Wade’s writing crackles with witty cruelty and urgent clarity, exposing the social machinery behind the masks. 

This is theatre that confronts, unsettles and demands discussion — perfect in an era when the stakes of power and privilege feel more visible than ever.

“Laura Wade’s depiction of wealth and privilege is savagely funny.” — Time Out London

“Dark comedy turned social horror … as entertaining as it is savage.” —     Time Out (Sydney)

“Mockingbird’ Theatre’s production of The Laramie Project and The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, under the direction of Chris Baldock and featuring a superb cast and production team assumes the status of a state theatre company production, worthy of appearing on any professional stage in the country” – Peter Wilkins, Canberra Critics Circle

“Another highly praiseworthy example of Chris Baldock and Mockingbird’s ability to stage some of the most noteworthy theatre in town.” – Theatre Press

“Mockingbird Theatre continue to produce theatrically significant plays whose influence continues to be seen and felt in contemporary theatre. And there’s no better way to understand these works than by seeing them. Reading a play is one thing, but plays are not created to be read, they are created to live and be shared with an audience” – Aussie Theatre
