A touring theatre group, The John Godber Company are set to perform at Theatre Royal Windsor this March with a revival of Teechers, a comedy by playwright John Godber.

The play has been reset to post-COVID times.

The story begins at the end of term, as bristling with teenage swagger and outlandish imagination, Salty, Gail, and Hobby use their BTEC Performing Arts exam to showcase their work.

The company states: "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.

"A joyful yet biting look at education, aspiration and inequality, Teechers remains as relevant, provocative and entertaining as ever."

The play will be featuring Yorkshire actors Jo Patmore, Levi Payne, and Sophie Suddaby and directed by Jane Thornton

Critics on Teechers state: “10 out of 10.” – The Times “Joyous, energetic and bitter about educational inequalities.” – The Guardian “Edgy, observational, funny, political and hard-hitting.” – The British Theatre Guide

It will run in Windsor from Tuesday 3 – Saturday 7 March 2026.

Tickets are £19.50-£38.50.
