Posh makes a fair point about the unfairness of life, but does so in a way which is not particularly convincing. John Lindsay was aloof and sinister as Jeremy, framing the puerility of the Riot Club at the heart of the play with the calculating minds and well-connected individuals such organisations produce. In the private dining room of a gastro pub, 10 young bloods with cut-glass vowels and deep pockets are meeting, intent on restoring their right to rule.
