The John Godber Company

Classic John Godber comedy Teechers is heading to the New Vic as part of a major national tour.

From the BAFTA winning writer of Bouncers and Up ‘n’ Under, Teechers puts the education system under the microscope in a no-holds-barred look and is as funny, free and relevant as the day it was written.

Gail, Hobby and Salty are three fifth form students who, through their end of term play, tell the hilarious story of an idealistic new teacher in his perilous first days inside a local comprehensive school.

A cast of three - Tupele Dorgu (Coronation Street, ITV), Peter McMillan (Cirxus, Arcola Theatre; The Man Outside, Theatre Royal Haymarket) and Amy Thompson (Milkshake!, Channel 5) - effortlessly transform into a vast array of characters, including teachers, dinner ladies, students, an obstructive caretaker and the school bully, in this contemporary classic.
