Synopsis
We don't actually drink coffee at my coffee morning.
– What do you do, then?
– We discuss the violent overthrow of the government.
Also, there's flower arranging.
In this intensely imaginative and daringly brave-thinking play, award-winning playwright Rory Mullarkey imagines a wild road trip across Middle England.
Together, Lady Catherine and her young protégé Leo enlist every tearoom, hot yoga class and Women's Institute group on a mission to change the country forever.
This play was the 2014 Pinter Commission and the winner of the George Devine Award.
It received its world premiere production at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs on 10 September 2014, starring Anna Chancellor as Lady Catherine and directed by James Macdonald.
