Teechers by John Godber
Meet Gail, Hobby and Salty – three year 11 students about to leave their
school days behind them, fighting their anxieties with imagination and
theatre. As their final term nears its end, the trio perform a play
inspired by the chaotic first days of their idealistic
drama teacher.
With only the props of their classroom to hand and just three actors
taking on over 20 different roles, Teechers is a tour-de-force of
storytelling and the power of live theatre.
Written by John Godber in the 1980s, Teechers is a fast-paced comedy
with a vital message about the entrenched inequalities of the UK’s
education system that are still as punchy as ever forty years later.
