FAST-moving, inventive and highly entertaining, “Teechers” is John Godber’s brilliant take on life at a modern Comprehensive.

Through their hilarious end-of-term play, three Year 11s – Gail, Hobby and Salty – exuberantly sketch the new drama teacher’s progress through two terms of unruly classes, cynical colleagues and obstructive caretakers.

Will Mr Harrison abandon his students for a green and pleasant private school? Who puts the bounce in Miss Prime, the PE teacher? Will Mrs Parry ever find her Koko? And why does everyone smell of spring onions?

This is a production that is close to home for one of the cast members, Freya Burnside, who is also leaving school this year. She assures us that her school was not as bad as Whitehall High School! Joined by two other talented RAODS Youth members, Anna Mitchell and Katie-Ann Miles, the three actresses have learned how to play a multitude of different characters including both pupils and teachers.

RAODS Youth present Teechers in the Plaza Theatre Green Room studio from Tuesday to Saturday.
