In 2009/2010 The Royal Court Theatre focused on the term class. The working-class, the middle-class and the upper-class were treated in POSH, which spotlights the last mentioned. It’s a fictionalized version of the elitist Oxford dining club, The Bullingdon Club, which is known for its extravagant dinner-parties with heavy drinking and teenage excesses. The play is based on interviews with members from the environment and the story is about ten privileged young men, who meet at a local pub for a loose evening in the club. They all believe that they’re born to rule and now it’s time to concur back the power from the mob. As members from the working-class we meet the pub-owner, his daughter and a prostitute, who the club has booked for the evening to serve them. Wade said in an interview that she is interested in the social network in these clubs: “: "If you have to ask to join you're not the right sort of chap. I'm fascinated by that kind of herding […] I think it's very important to ask questions about how someone's wealth or upbringing affects what they do or what they believe and what they can understand of the rest of the world."
