Teechers at Queen's Theatre Hornchurch

Meet Gail, Hobby and Salty – three year 11 students about to leave their school days behind them, fighting their anxieties with imagination and theatre.

As their final term nears its end, the trio perform a play inspired by the chaotic first days of their idealistic drama teacher. With only the props of their classroom to hand and just three actors taking on over 20 different roles, Teechers is a tour-de-force of storytelling and the power of live theatre.

Written by John Godber in the 1980s, Teechers is a fast-paced comedy with a vital message about the entrenched inequalities of the UK’s education system that are still as punchy as ever forty years later.
