Betrayal, dishonesty, infidelity, friendship, love, marriage, expectations, ambition, sex, money, education & intellect. A bit like the West Wing, but in a public school & without the crises of international importance.

Strangely uplifting for a story about life’s disappointments. The Browning Version by Terence Rattigan gives a glimpse into public school life through the eyes of Mr Crocker-Harris, “The Crock”, on the eve of his last day of teaching at the school.

The Crock is the stereotype of everybody’s worst teacher. He is a tyrant & a bully in the classroom who receives little respect from fellow teachers & was never promoted to the position he felt he deserved.

As many of the characters, notably Mrs Crocker-Harris and Taplow (a pupil) are threatened with disappointments, personal integrity & dignity are called into question and the resulting decisions shape the play’s narrative.

Performances start at 7.45pm
