EAT THE RICH (but maybe not me mates x)

"If there's one thing worse than classism and the disparity of wealth in this country... it's FOMO."

is a darkly funny, politically sharp solo show about class, survival and double standards in modern Britain.

Inspired by real events, it follows Jade, a working-class Scouser who gets into Cambridge and takes a cleaning job to get by, secretly scrubbing the toilets of the very people she studies alongside.

As she wrestles with code-switching, inherited shame and the exhausting mental gymnastics of trying to belong in an institution built to exclude people like her, the show lays bare the absurdities of Britain's class system and the cost of learning to navigate it.

At a time when arts funding is being slashed and working-class voices are pushed further to the margins, Eat the Rich refuses to flatten class struggle into easy binaries. Instead, it asks: what happens when you 'make it out' and is the cost always a quiet betrayal of where you came from?
