The Downfall of the School

Past productions

A play by

The Downfall of the School is a brand new musical written by Robert Gathercole from Mad Hatter Productions. It tells the story of Timothy Tolbert through his first term at Plainham Comprehensive, categorically the worst secondary school in the country – at least until it is taken over by the tyrannical Mr Henry Kane…

A show which exaggerates and pokes fun at something quintessentially British: a failing education system. Filled with meddling committees, foul-mouthed students and a signed photograph of Tom Jones, don’t miss this one-off opportunity to witness an original musical performed by a brilliantly talented company of 25 Mad Hatters!
