SHOW DETAILS
Devonshire Park Theatre
Tuesday 5 to Saturday 9 October 2010
Remember your school days? The dreaded detentions, soggy semolina, snogging behind the bike sheds and breaktime bust-ups?! Well prepare to be catapulted back to the classroom and take a raw and riotous look at life in a typical British school, in this classic comedy from BAFTA winner John Godber.
Meet the staff: the trendy young Drama teacher making his shaky debut; the Deputy Head who rules the school with an iron rod; the gentle Humanities teacher who is desperate for a quiet life; Doug, the grumpy old Caretaker, and the Headmistress – a boisterous battleaxe and sometime Amateur Dramatics star! And prepare yourselves for the pupils; a wayward mob of disruptive delinquents - determined to wreak havoc, hormones and horror throughout the school!
Starring Zoe Lister (Hollyoaks), nostalgia, mischief and mayhem reign supreme in this classic classroom drama!
