The Staff Room at Barons Court Theatre

The Staff Room examines the life inside a state school staff room. Three teachers. One staff room. But what’s the subject?
Behind closed doors three teachers form an unlikely friendship. Bonding over fad diets, Instagram abs and the government’s impending sugar tax – in this school it’s not just the students who have lessons to learn. Sometimes all that matters are biscuits and banter.
One for the Netflix generation, this is a sitcom for the stage speaking about society today through the eyes of its educators. It stars Craig Webb, who appeared on Gary Barlow’s Let It Shine (BBC) earlier this year, Faye Derham and Hilary Murnane. The play is written and directed by Michelle Payne with Associate Director Anna Buckmaster.
