Education, Education, Education

Education, Education, Education is a brilliant and funny play about British schools in
the 1990s, exploring what we are taught and why, and will be performed by King’s
Company ‘Sixth Form’ students. The play is set in a run-down British secondary school,
Wordsworth Comprehensive, in 1997, just after the election that saw Tony Blair become
Prime Minister. Tobias, a new German placement assisting with foreign languages,
watches on as assorted members of the teaching staff struggle to deal with the demands
of their job, their unruly students, and their various personal issues. With the nation
riding the wave of New Labour’s exhilarating success, Wordsworth Comprehensive
continues its remorseless slide into chaos. Don’t miss this fast paced, hilarious play,
directed by Nick Huntington (Director of Drama and Theatre) complete with eccentric
characters and live 90s music.

The evening will begin with GCSE Drama extracts in readiness for the Year 11 practical
examination, with pieces from the National Theatre Connections plays. This will be
followed by the full play, Education, Education, Education.

Book early to avoid disappointment.
