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. But at the local secondary school it's a different story.
Education, Education, Education is The Wardrobe Ensemble's love letter to the schools of the 90s and asks big questions about a country in special measures, what we are taught and why, and where responsibility lies.
Following its sell-out run in 2017, former Made in Bristol company The Wardrobe Ensemble (1972: The Future of Sex) return to Bristol Old Vic with their trademark inventive theatricality and irreverent humour to explore the stories that have shaped our recent political history, and to think about what the future might look like.

Great production that took me back to working in school in 1997.
Incredible!! Great staging great themes great writing!
Fantastic show! A really enjoyable evening. Thought-provoking, fun and funny, this company is always such good value (I've seen them before). Wonderful!
Very funny show, fast moving
Funny, inventive staging/choreography and educational too!
We loved it. It was funny and the actors has really great personalities on stage.
Superbly well observed and performed. As a headteacher I recognised all the characters, teachers and students!
Great show, really captured the mood of the time. Cast very energetic ! Great soundtrack and likeable and realistic characters.
Excellent performance which, as retired teachers, we could relate to very well; acting, dancing and sparse stage props vividly brought the play together. Loved the leg room, although seats a little narrow.
Great show, highly recommend for those who remember 1997
Great play and use of humour to portray the education system. The characters were real and believable. A great night out
As American educators we found it painfully funny.
