Fresh from a sell-out, five-star debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, Jade Franks’s award-winning solo show is back.
Winner of The Scotsman’s Fringe First Award, The Holden Street Theatres Award and The Filipa Bragança Award, this is the play everyone’s talking about.
Inspired by Franks’s own time as a working-class student at Cambridge, the show follows Jade, a Scouse fresher juggling secret cleaning shifts with the culture shock of Oxbridge privilege. With razor-sharp wit and a dozen unforgettable characters, Eat the Rich exposes the absurdities of class, money and belonging in Britain today.
Listed in The New York Times among the “Buzziest Acts of the Fringe” and in The Telegraph’s Top Plays to See, Eat the Rich has cemented Jade Franks as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.
Brought to you by double Oliver nominated producer JFR Productions and award winning director Tatenda Shamiso.
Jade Franks – remember the name – skewers the institution of class privilege in a performance that is as funny as it is politically stinging.
