London School of Dramatic Art presents the 2026 Advanced Diploma in Acting students in their graduation production of The Ritual Slaughter of Gorge Mastromas by Dennis Kelly and directed by Samantha Robinson.

Dennis Kelly’s play is a searing exploration of capitalism, morality, and the corrupting influence of power.
Through Gorge’s journey from everyman to ruthless tycoon, the play examines the ease with which principles can be abandoned in pursuit of success. Kelly’s sharp, often darkly comic dialogue punctuates scenes of increasing moral decay, while the play’s episodic structure allows for a sweeping view of Gorge’s life and the consequences of his actions.
The Ritual Slaughter of Gorge Mastromas offers a provocative critique of modern society’s values, questioning the price of success and the nature of truth in a world where lying has become an art form.
