An Unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form boys in persuit 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 new play, staff-room rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence provoke insistent questions about history and how you teach it: about education and its purpose.
Brilliantly funny, with lines that we will, I hope, be quoting for years to come with several show stopping vignettes.
