AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT for our next DRAMA: The Stevenage Lytton Players present Teechers Written by John Godber 18th to 21st April 2018 The Lytton Theatre Director – Tom Beirne Producer – TBC Synopsis Three school leavers, Salty, Hobby and Gail Saunders perform to an audience an account of their time in secondary school (given the name 'Whitewall' for their performance), specifically their time with Mr Jeff Nixon, the new drama teacher who ignites their passion for the stage with his idealism and belief that all children should be treated equally. The children mention that the names of the characters have been changed: Mr Nixon's real name is Mr Harrison, mentioned at the beginning. At the end of the play he leaves Whitewall High School to teach at St George's, another school with much better teachers. It is a play within a play in which three students put on a performance to their teachers. Everything in the play is reduced to the bare essentials, with very little set and the three actors playing twenty other parts. However, Godber has said that it could also be performed with twenty different actors so the director, Tom, is looking to cast at least seven people.

In reality it was bruised Barry Wobschall - A small boy who never brings his PE kit Simon "Piggy" Patterson - A boy who is always telling on others, he always runs to his lessons.
