Holden Street Theatres have struck gold, scouring the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to bring Adelaide audiences the award-winning hit Eat the Rich (but maybe not me mates x). Produced by Jasmyn Fisher-Ryner and directed by Tatenda Shamiso, this razor-sharp solo comedy dives headfirst into the messy, hilarious, and often painful clash between class and aspiration.

Franks’ performance is nothing short of electric. With a thick, unapologetic Scouse accent, she moves seamlessly between characters, from Jade to the upper-crust Cambridge crowd, each rendered with precision and comic flair. She’s a deeply physical storyteller, conjuring vivid imagery that transports the audience straight into the UK’s class divide, from her dreary call centre space to Cambridge’s corridors.

Witty, bold, and brilliantly performed, Eat the Rich… is a sparkling satire that manages to be both hilarious and heartfelt – a celebration of resilience and a sharp jab at the classism that quietly underpins modern society.
