Dumbing Down
Dumbing Down is a hard hitting new comedy about what has happened to education during the Blair years: the tests and the targets; the league tables and the terrors of Ofsted.
First-hand experience and news reports have been distilled into a subversive comedy/drama about a young teacher at the start of his career.
This hilarious topical satire includes rapping, Shakespeare, gender-swapping and an opportunity for the audience to throw rubbish at the actors!
Fast paced, rib-tickling satire - amusing, convincing and very hard hitting.
Hertfordshire Mercury
Witty, professional, pure entertainment and a stimulus for discussion and debate.
Jon Berry, www.rethinkinged.org.uk
A subtle combination of biting humour and astute observation. An outstanding piece of theatre.
