Teechers by John Godber is a laugh-out-loud, fast-paced comedy that turns the classroom into a stage for chaos, rebellion, and youthful antics. In this sharp satire of the British school system, three unruly students—Gail, Hobby, and Salty—take the audience on a whirlwind journey as they reenact their final year at Whitewall High, a struggling comprehensive school.

The play-within-a-play shines a spotlight on Mr. Nixon, their idealistic drama teacher, who dares to inspire creativity and passion in his underprivileged students. Through spot-on impersonations of their eccentric peers, jaded teachers, and bureaucratic headmistress, the students reveal the challenges of balancing ambition with reality in a system stacked against them. As the story unfolds, the question remains: will Mr. Nixon stick around to fight the good fight, or will the temptations of a posh private school lure him away?

Packed with witty dialogue and a cheeky sense of humour, Teechers is a rollicking commentary on education, dreams, and the power of one teacher to make a difference. 

Rutland Museum, 27th and 28th February, 7.30 pm.
