Description 'A smash hit at the box office when it premiered at the Melbourne Theatre Company, Rupert is now scheduled for a West End run. Rupert is a scintillating celebration of avarice, acumen and the lifestyles of the super-rich and famous. With legends and larrikins, song and dance, Williamson's irreverent and irresistible exposé of media, money, power and politics is sure to be 2015's maverick theatrical event. Scandalously audacious!'
