Notes: | A wickedly funny satire which raises uncomfortable questions about what schools ought to be doing, featuring much sharp dialogue, opportunities for elements of farce and the scope to slip in the occasional sly joke. Anarchic but intelligent fun! | |||||
Synopsis: | Boarding school rules have always been disobeyed a bit but when "anarchy" appears on the list of official school activities and the brightest and best of the Sixth Form are apparently signing up for it, perhaps things are a little out of hand? What will the press make of it? Will the school's standing in the league tables be affected? | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | The initial visit of a marketing-trained "business executive" School Inspector leads the staff to claim allegiance to a new "politically correct" set of values in order to bluff their way through. Soon after the inspection is complete, however, developments suggest that empty teacher rhetoric has become reality! Satire moves to farce as this witty and pertinent play comes to its chaotic finale with the whole cast on stage as wave after wave of enterprising free-market groups of pupils invade the staff room. | |||||
