John Godber, Teechers (Acting Edition S.)

Teechers by John Godber is a very cleverly written play, and like Godber's Bouncers it is very funny if you get it right. It is easy to put actions to the words. Slight costume/prop changes can change a character and that's all you have time to do. The pace has to be good and some overacting is needed. Remember it is a stereotypical play, be a stereotype! If you get the pace wrong, you lose some of the comedy, reading it in class was horrible as people didn't get the pace right. The different characters get confusing.

its is a great play :D

I am going to perform John Godber's Teechers tomorrow in front of a GCSE examiner and I am looking forward to it because Teechers is one of the funniest plays I have ever performed. It is so versatile you can do almost anything with it. All though the writing is funny, the words merely prompt you to do hilarious physical theatre, for example the scene where the 3 main characters describe the play they did about ninjas that come into school to sort out any trouble makers, in our group we did a matrix style fight scene. The script just begs to be added upon. If you don't perform it yourself go and see it being performed.
