An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form boys in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. A maverick English teacher at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher. A headmaster obsessed with results; a history teacher who thinks he's a fool.
In Alan Bennett's award-winning and hugely popular play, staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence provoke insistent questions about history and how you teach it, about education and its purpose.
Designed to meet the requirements for students at GCSE and A level, this accessible and stimulating new educational edition: - includes detailed analyses of character, theme and structure; - looks at the context of the play and its author; - offers key quotations and activities both for the student working alone and in the classroom.
