An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form boys in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. A maverick English teacher at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher.
A headmaster obsessed with results; a history teacher who thinks he’s a fool.
In Alan Bennett’s multi award-winning play, staff room rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence provide searching questions about education, its purpose and how teachers deliver it. Witty, moving, fast-paced and accessible, this is not to be missed.
This global success comes to Portsmouth for the very first time.
