It's May 1997. Tony Blair has won the election and Katrina and the Waves have won Eurovision. Channel 5 is a month old. No one knows who Harry Potter is. Britain is the coolest place in the world.

At the local secondary school it's a different story. Miss Belltop-Doyle can't control her Year 10s, Mr Pashley has been put in charge of a confiscated Tamagotchi, and Miss Turner is hoping that this muck-up day goes smoother than the last. Tobias, the German language assistant, watches on. Things can only get better.

Education, Education, Education is The Wardrobe Ensemble's love letter to the schools of the 1990s and asks big questions about a country in special measures, exploring what we are taught and why, and where responsibility lies.

Inventively theatrical and irreverently funny, Education, Education, Education was co-produced with Royal & Derngate Northampton and Shoreditch Town Hall. It premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, where it won a Fringe First Award, before touring the UK.

The Wardrobe Ensemble is a Bristol-based group of theatre artists. Their work includes: The Last of the Pelican Daughters (Edinburgh Fringe, 2019); Education, Education, Education (Edinburgh Festival Fringe & UK tour, 2017; Trafalgar Studios, 2019); 1972: The Future of Sex (Shoreditch Town Hall, 2014; UK tour, 2015; Bristol Old Vic, 2019); 33 (Bristol Old Vic & Edinburgh Fringe, 2013; UK tour 2014); and RIOT (Bristol Old Vic, 2011; UK tour 2012; National Theatre, 2013). The company has made numerous shows for families and early years, including Eliza and the Wild Swans, Edgar and the Land of Lost, Eloise and the Curse of the Golden Whisk and The Forever Machine (all co-productions with the Bike Shed Theatre); Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain (a co-production with Bristol Old Vic); and The Star Seekers (a co-production with The Wardrobe Theatre, Bristol).
