  • Teechers is a play by John Godber, written in 1984 and was published in 1985. It was first performed by the Hull Truck Theatre Company at the 1987 Edinburgh Festival starring as Salty, as Gail and as Hobby. In 2010 a revival of the play was again performed at Hull Truck Theatre, before touring at other venues. The cast included Zoe Lister as Gail, Peter McMillan as Salty, and Claire Eden as Hobby. The play was updated with modern references and modern music. It was recently performed at Settle College. It is a play within a play in which three students performed for their teachers. Everything in the play is reduced to the bare essentials, with very little set and the three actors playing twenty other parts. The students perform to an audience an account of their time in secondary school (given the name 'Whitewall High School' 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 that is regarded more highly. Once the three kids know that Nixon is leaving, they start to understand how much he helped them. Salty, in particular, wants to carry on with drama once he has left school.The caretaker is called Doug. The play is set in Edinburgh (en)
