The Staffroom & Two Short Planks – MonoPolarised
Did you like school? Was it an intellectually stimulating journey through the joys of academia, or a hotbed of hormones and poor choices? We all remember our school days. The crushes, the drama, the teachers you tried to avoid…
But those experiences aren’t limited to the classroom. In every school, there is a Staffroom. And in every Staffroom there is a story to be told.
Join The Staffroom, as we take a peek into the lives of teachers as they work out their own dynamics in a world otherwise governed by routine and rules. This organic, long-form show taps into the different relationships at play when the only thing you have in common is where you work.
Our cast includes experienced improvisers who have performed on the West End, Edinburgh Fringe festival, International Improv festivals and so much more!
Book us into your timetable, review us in your school report, and if you like us enough maybe we’ll become the answer to your internet banking question ‘who was your favourite teacher?’
Playtime’s over. Let’s go back to school.

From secret dreams to guilty confessions, one thing is for sure—the characters will never be the same again, and nor will you.
