Produktbeschreibung

It's back to school with a bang for Alisha, Iman and Kareem - they all failed GCSE English and there are only six weeks until their resits. This is their last chance to continue Sixth Form, failure is not an option. It's down to Miss Murphy to see the trio through.

But collectively, the students are unruly, she's already snowed under with her other classes and the school is literally falling apart. Gradually scenes set in and out of lessons reveal the difficulties facing students and staff, showing why they have 'failed' and why a stretched education system cannot cope with all the social problems outside.

"The play touches on themes of mental health, disability (...) and gender, while presenting the difficulties teachers face when navigating the line between health and safety, child protection, and simply trying to get unruly 16-years-olds to gain some much-needed qualifications." (The Stage)

Every Day I Make Greatness Happen won the Nick Darke Award 2017 and premiered at the Hampstead Theatre, London.
