A heart-breaking but humorous exploration of failing education systems, prejudice and parent-teacher relationships
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
Brian and Donna’s son is nine years old and he’s struggling. That’s what his teacher says. That he should see a psychologist. But Brian and Donna – recently separated – never liked school, never liked teachers.
An explosive triple confrontation that is funny, heart-breaking and beautifully observed, Iseult Golden and David Horan’s Class is an award-winning play about learning difficulties: in school, in life, wherever.
After a sold-out run in the Dublin Theatre Festival 2017, the play transferred to the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in January 2018 before playing at the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018.
Class won an Edinburgh Fringe First Award and was named Best Theatre Script at the 2018 ZeBBie Awards, awarded by the Writers Guild of Ireland.
