Vague Theatre Company

Fast-moving, inventive and highly entertaining, Teechers vigorously evokes life at a modern Comprehensive.  Three fifth-formers, using the format of an end-of-term play, exuberantly sketch the new drama teacher's progress through two terms of recalcitrant classes, cynical colleagues and obstructive caretakers until he departs, disillusioned, for the safer waters of a private school.

The play runs the whole gamut of emotions, climaxing with the last scene when the teenagers' despair emerges from beneath their youthful irreverence, giving a poignant edge to the comedy.

Written for three actors to play some twenty characters, and with only a few desks and chairs to convey many settings, Teechers stretches the imagination of cast and audience alike.
