Play :: An Englishman, an Irishwoman, a Scotsman and a Welshman have rubbed along for years teaching the English language to foreigners in a less than stately Hertfordshire pile. The arrival of their New York Jewish boss tears the union apart as they prepare for a grand re-opening in the presence of a very Royal visitor - and several corgis. Just what is and isn't cricket? Why kiss the blarney stone? Is it always raining in Pontypridd? What lurks beneath the kilt? A biting topical comedy which pokes a finger at ideas of national identity, class and Britain's role in the modern world.
