Terry Shakespeare is really the school old boy – he’s 42. He’s been in fifth form for 26 years and his two children Dopey and SS are in the same class – but he’s not silly... he’s turned staying at school forever into a tax dodge.
Finally the school becomes desperate to offload Terry and his boys, so the headmaster hatches a plot to get rid of Shakespeare. If he passes they can finally boot him out. So they make him direct the school play Macbeth.
In a bizarre send-up of the happiest days of your life, the authors have assembled a cast of swots, crawlers, stirrers and dunces into a pantomime which took the Australian public by storm, both for its outrageous antics and appealing music and, more seriously, its glimpse of the doubts and confusion which haunt the school-leaver.
