“Which side will you be on?”
Drama
In an English boys' boarding school, social hierarchy reigns supreme and power remains in the hands of distanced and ineffectual teachers and callously vicious prefects in the Upper Sixth. Three Lower Sixth students, Wallace, Johnny and leader Mick Travis decide on a shocking course of action to redress the balance of privilege once and for all.
VIBE
A searing, darkly funny look at institutional rot and youthful defiance. It feels like a simmering pot of rebellion, boiling over with sharp wit and a potent, unsettling energy. A truly provocative and unforgettable experience.
