It was hard to believe that this very successful production of “Teechers” was PAC’s first venture into non musical theatre. The young actors, Becky McIntyre, Lewis Philpott and Ben Smart, were very convincing in their multiple roles and were always in the right place, wearing the correct costume and portraying the required character. They switched easily between being teenagers and members of staff and the dialogue flowed swiftly with some very confident asides to the audience. The play has some very funny lines which the cast timed well, but they also showed that it’s not always easy being a teenager. The play was first performed more than twenty years ago but didn’t seem to be at all dated.
Marc Fairclough, the director, had only a month to work with the cast, and they all made the most of their time. It was well thought out and the action moved seamlessly from scene to scene. All involved should be proud of this production and I look forward to PAC’s next foray into drama.
