Jess Green hit the headlines last year with her scorching YouTube piece addressed to Michael Gove, then Secretary of State for Education. In this powerful, humorous and highly topical commentary on the state of education, Green weaves passionate poems (including Dear Mr Gove) with colourful characters underscored with original music from The Mischief Thieves. Meet Sandra, the school librarian who surreptitiously removes ?unsuitable' books, Janine, the picketing teacher fighting for her pension, and more in this insightful show about surviving in the classroom.
