John Godber's Classic Comedy "Teechers" Returns in Fresh 2026 Revival
Teechers
Gala Durham
Monday 30 & Tuesday 31 March 2026
The John Godber Company brings its vibrant new production of the beloved comedy Teechers to Gala Durham, offering a sharply funny and fast-paced celebration of school life viewed through the eyes of three ambitious students navigating the chaos of their secondary education.
Written by award-winning playwright John Godber, this much-loved classic arrives in Durham as part of its 2026 tour, re-energised and re-imagined for a new generation. Directed by Jane Thornton, the production updates the rhythm and storytelling of the original while preserving the wit, honesty and anarchic spirit that have made Teechers a firm favourite for four decades.

The show charts the misadventures of three drama-loving pupils as they perform their end-of-term play about life at Whitewall Academy, complete with terrifying teachers, inspirational mentors, and the daily triumphs and humiliations of school corridors. Told with minimal props, comic physicality and lightning-fast character changes, the piece showcases the talent and agility of a tight-knit ensemble cast in trademark Godber style—blending sharp satire with heartfelt humanity.
The production reflects The John Godber Company's ongoing commitment to staging high-quality, accessible theatre in the North and championing regional venues with strong community connections.
