JOHN GODBER’S
TEECHERS
NEW YEAR. SAME PROBLEMS.
Touring 2026
It is the end of term and Godber’s hilarious comedy masterpiece has been reset for our post Covid times. Bristling with teenage swagger and outlandish imagination, Salty, Gail and Hobby use their BTEC Performing Arts exam to showcase their work.
What follows is a funny, fast moving, hard-hitting account of life at Whitewall Academy as they play staff, students and site premises managers, including the new drama teacher Miss Nixon who has helped get them into drama and changed their lives.
But as Salty, Gail and Hobby conclude their performance and leave state education, it appears that Miss Nixon is moving on too . . .to the local private school.
