Teechers by John Godber
Directed by Asha Gill
Teechers is a play within a play, performed at Whitewall High School… which we will be performing in the Coward Room at Hampton Hill Theatre. It is a homage to the drama teacher, Mr Harrison, who is being portrayed as Mr Nixon. Salty, Hobby and Gail play all the parts themselves, and sometimes within the same lines, switch characters to portray all the roles listed below. Mr Nixon is a new teacher, who changes and touches the lives of the three students but soon leaves for the much more attractive Saint George’s School next door.

Loot by Joe Orton
Directed by Nigel Cole
Two young lovers stash the proceeds of a bank robbery in an occupied coffin, attempting to hide their spoils from the attentions of a psychopathic policeman, a serial-killer nurse and a grieving widower. In the ensuing comic carnage, Joe Orton creates a world gone mad, wielding a satirical sledgehammer to conventional English morality.
This glorious, frenetic black farce from one of Britain’s finest (and arguably) filthiest playwrights is an actor’s dream. Farce always requires huge physicality and energy but in Loot, Orton’s signature rapid-fire wordplay will also demand great verbal dexterity and accuracy.

The Revlon Girl by Neil Anthony Docking
Directed by Kelly Wood
Aberfan. October 21st 1966, 0915. The spoil tip on top of the mountain collapsed, sending tonnes of slag thundering down to the village, smothering the school. 144 people died. 116 of them were children.
Eight months later, and the bereaved mothers meet once a week to laugh, to cry, to heal together. At one of the meetings, the women admitted how much they had let themselves go. Afraid of what other people would think, they secretly arrange for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips. The Revlon Girl tells the real life story of that rainy Tuesday night.
