The Education Of A Lapdancer By John Cooper

Living in the fashionable London suburb of Little Venice, Chris Moore, a teacher at a `socially challenged` inner-city school , and his wife, Marie, a doctor at a busy London NHS hospital seem to be doing OK. But when Chris becomes involved with a Romanian lap dancer things get dangerously complicated! To add to the complexities Chris’s daughter drops out of college and brings home Billy, a street-wise black musician, which sees tensions between father and daughter escalate

John Cooper’s fast-moving, raw, and humorous play examines the growing ethnic diversity of contemporary Britain and looks at values and morals in a rapidly changing urban culture. Under the spotlight is the pressure on those at the frontline of public sector health and education, trying to cope with ever- increasing numbers due to burgeoning immigration.
