Evening Sentinel Review

John Godber’s classic classroom comedy was brought to the stage of the Stoke Repertory Theatre. Based on Godber’s own experiences as a teacher and Grange Hill scriptwriter, the play takes a hard-hitting (and at times hilarious) look at life in a modern comprehensive. There’s the new drama teacher, brimming with confidence, compared to the headmistress about to tackle her fifth Mikado. Add to the mix a deputy headteacher who rules with a rod of iron, it’s a sure fire recipe for conflict!

‘A mathematically sound trio of actors….providing a take on the subject of modern education, combining jaundiced hilarity, political awareness and lightning quick changes of character, gender and age.’
