Students sometimes get the upper hand
Members of the Abingdon Touring Theatre Company are touring Oxfordshire's rural areas with a punchy version of John Godber's hilarious play Teechers, and plan to stop at Bampton Village Hall at 8pm on Saturday this week, and at Kingston Bagpuize village hall on Thursday, February 28.
Abingdon Touring Theatre Company was founded in 2005, with the intention of providing invaluable experience to gap-year drama students and recent drama graduates. When the company is not touring, it is working with schools, helping them to develop drama productions through workshops and performances. It also aims to provide residents of rural areas, who are unable to travel to Oxford during the winter months, a chance to enjoy a live show in their own village.
Teechers, as the title suggests, is a play which evokes life at a modern school, where, at times, students get the upper hand. Spelling is certainly not their forte. Mr Nixon - the new drama teacher - arrives to find life at this school a massive challenge. At first, it's doubtful that he and his students will manage to make it through to the end of the play with their sanity intact, but with plays written by John Godber, the audience come to expect the unexpected, and this play is no exception. It's certainly a highly entertaining play. It will most certainly add an element of laughter to a bleak mid-winter evening. For further information and tickets, phone 01865 305305.
