Description
We don't actually drink coffee at my coffee morning. – What do you do, then? – We discuss the violent overthrow of the government. Also, there's flower arranging.
In this intensely imaginative and daringly brave-thinking play, award-winning playwright Rory Mullarkey imagines a wild road trip across Middle England. Together, Lady Catherine and her young protégé Leo enlist every tearoom, hot yoga class and Women's Institute group on a mission to change the country forever.
This play was the 2014 Pinter Commission and the winner of the George Devine Award. It received its world premiere production at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs on 10 September 2014, starring Anna Chancellor as Lady Catherine and directed by James Macdonald.

Reviews
-
Mullarkey has fun with the juxtaposition of quaint English custom and unadulterated savagery, and he offers some hilarious dialogue. . . . Mullarkey has considerable talent . . . exhilarating
Daily Telegraph
-
fervent and bracingly original . . . laced with exuberant absurdity and moments of twisted humour . . . there's a fierce freshness in his writing that suggests he's a young playwright to watch.
Evening Standard
-
rallying, angry and necessary
The Stage
-
Rory Mullarkey's free-spirited daub of a nationwide road trip is a Poliakoff-style fantasia of violence and revolution . . . He's a promising new talent.
Whatsonstage
-
Funny, provocative and engagingly eccentric
Time Out
-
Mullarkey certainly has an original voice
