A festive slice of social satire at the Orange Tree this Christmas sees a revival of Henry Arthur Jones' social-climbing farce, which is sadly as fresh and relevant today as it was in 1913. It belongs to a rich tradition of class-obsessed satires which includes Spoonfed favourites To The Manor Born and Keeping Up Appearances.


Mary Winchello and her husband are at the social pinnacle of Warkinstall life, but when their arch rival Thomas Bodworth gets a knighthood their position is threatened. There's obviously nothing for it but to throw a party, at which Lady Bodsworth will make a sitting target and during which hilarity will of course, ensue.
