Ruling Class

<p><i>Etonians aren't exactly noted for their grey matter but I've always found them perfectly adjusted to society. <br></i><br>Jack a possible paranoid schizophrenic with a Messiah complex inherits the title of the 14th Earl of Gurney after his father passes away in a bizarre accident. Singularly unsuited to a life in the upper echelons of elite society Jack finds himself at the centre of a ruthless power struggle as his scheming family strives to uphold their reputation. <p/>Bubbling with acerbic wit and feverish energy Olivier Award-winning and Oscar-nominated-writer Peter Barnes's razor-sharp satire combines a ferocious mix of hilarity and horror whilst mercilessly exposing the foibles of the English nobility. <p/>This edition of the play is published to coincide with the first-ever revival of this classic cult comedy at the Trafalgar Studios London on 16 January 2015.</p>
