Back to School archiveBack To School is a site-specific, interactive experience where audience members are cast as students, premiering at the Pleasance for this year's Edinburgh Festival. Part-comedy, part-social experiment, this new show from Britain's modern day ?Mary Poppins', in collaboration with playwrights Ranjit Bolt and Ella Hickson (among others), promises to delight and amuse. Mixing comedy and masterclass, ?pupils' attending ?Saint Dumbiedykes' will study insect dissection with one of the country's most renowned entomologists, take sex education classes with flirtation expert Tracey Cox, hear their graduation speech given by Jonathan Ross as well as enjoying irreverent takes on the school assembly, school dinners (make sure to eat your greens) and the end of term disco. With a resurrected school hamster and a mystery celebrity playing the school bell, Back To School promises to be a rollicking good show, full of Fringe fun, dark surprises and extra-curricular chaos.
