Played by the fantastic Catherine McClements, Pat is a jaded, stalwart primary school teacher who isnt afraid to voice her opinions: all kids are terrors, the schools a zoo and her colleagues are nitwits. Enter Anna, played by Stephanie Somerville in her STC mainstage debut, who is bright-eyed, idealistic and just out of university. Annas going to change the world, one gold star at a time.As you might suspect, these two dont quite see eye to eye.In a hilarious new black comedy from the brilliant mind of Angela Betzien (The Hanging, ABCs Total Control), audiences will get a sneak peek into one of societys biggest mysteries: the teachers staff room.STC Resident Director Jessica Arthur (Grand Horizons, Home, Im Darling) leads the cast, also featuring Ezra Juanta, Michelle Ny and Nathan OKeefe. This premiere production will be a laugh-a-minute tribute to one of our noblest and most underappreciated professions and an irreverent jab at privatisation, bureaucracy and workplace culture.A mashup of The Office and Teachers, Chalkface is the rowdy tale of two teachers who must put their differences aside to stand up for whats right even if it means throwing out the rule book altogether.
