Synopsis

Robbie Wilder is superficially charming, good-looking, a dandy in dress, cultivated and perhaps talented. As he makes a rake’s progress across recent contemporary London, we discover that he is also a liar, a petty thief, a mummy’s boy, an alcoholic, an onanist and a fantasist, expert in self-pity. What is a ‘blue boy’, his case seems to ask. What has the type ever been but a spendthrift of great expectations, an adept at the art of ‘wasting assets’? With pathos, irony and a dash of Waughian wit, Stubbs evokes the malaise and perverse sense of entitlement lurking behind class privilege.
