Mates in Chelsea

But I do have a job. “I am a professional viscount”

Things aren’t looking good for Theodore “Tug” Bungay.

His mother, Lady Agrippina, has a plan to cut off his funds.  His fed-up fiancee wants to drag him up the aisle.  An oligarch is eyeing up his beloved Northumberland castle.  Is Tug’s dissolute life about to change completely?  Or will he get to carry on doing exactly as he pleases without ever facing any consequences?

Directed by Royal Court Associate Director Sam Pritchard, Rory Mullarkey’s riotous new play takes inspiration from Wilde and Wodehouse to create a contemporary comedy of manners set amongst the dwellers of southwest London who – somehow – remain our country’s ruling class.
