The staff of the Gwendolen Kyte School for Girls are an odd assortment of social misfits and eccentric types. Returning for a new term the teachers face a catalogue of catastrophe, and tension reaches breaking point when a government inspector arrives with anonymous letters defaming the school as outmoded, old-fashioned and unsafe, and the staff as unqualified. Who could have betrayed them? And if the school is closed down, where will they go? A warm and touching depiction of female relationships, with several excellent roles for older actresses.
The play was first presented by the OHADS at the Garrick Studio Theatre, Hampton, Middlesex on the 29th November 1988.
