"While Wade's play reminds us that many of the upper-class continue to enjoy the sound of broken glass, its success lies in harpooning the way power operates through a succession of nods and winks in our supposedly open, egalitarian society." --Michael Billington, Guardian "What an outstanding talent . Her feel for character is exceptionally keen and she also writes excellent gags." -- Spectator "Nearly a decade on from its blistering Royal Court premiere and subsequent West End transfer, Laura Wade's incisive dissection of the entitled upper classes in their Oxford University playground feels as relevant and disquieting as ever . As a piece of political theatre, the message is blunt to the point of brutal. These people - with their expectation to rule; their conviction that money can buy them out of any problem, and their inherent, blind faith in their own superiority - are pretty despicable characters and we trust them with the future of the nation at our own peril . Perhaps it should even be compulsory viewing for members of the government." --Michael Davies, Whatsonstage "A beautifully presented educational edition of Laura Wade's 2010 play .

A well-thought-out and thoroughly researched introductory section (written by Henry Bell) that not only familiarises students with the play but also discusses all elements of theatre production, making it very useful for both teachers and students alike." -- Everything Theatre.
