An Elegant Madness, based on Ron Hutchinson's Beau Brummell is a wonderful example of modern new comedic writing. It pits an established English legend, Beau Brummell, against the common man, Austin, his revolutionary manservant.

Renowned for plays such as Rat in the Skull, here Hutchinson's writing creates a brilliant style developing a modern language, which resonates with the grandeur of the Georgian setting of the piece. The play is full of comedy, fast moving and at times a study in pathos. It flows seamlessly, contrasting philosphy with humour, laughter with sadness.

It challenges patronage, the English relationship with all things foreign and above all the nation's obsession with celebrity and its trappings.

"A tale of grandeur and dissolution"
"Brosnan and Latham - Theatre at its best"
"Overflowing with epigrammatic wit"
