"You give them an education; I give them the wherewithal to resist it." This multi layered play features 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 and a history teacher who thinks he’s a fool.
