Etonians aren't exactly noted for their grey matter, but I've always
found them perfectly adjusted to society. 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. 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. 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.
