Bad Teacher
Director/Co-Creator
Written and performed by Erin Holland and directed by Grace O’Keefe, The Queens of Cups draw upon their years as 20-something teachers in Bad Teacher, a dark comedy about the trials and tribulations a 20-something female teacher faces in a London-based Sixth Form College. After two five-star sell-out EdFringe runs, the show concluded its 2 year journey at The Pleasance London. Erin and Grace have adapted the play into a sitcom.
Praise for Bad Teacher
“The play is fast-paced, crude but also allows us to see the person behind the job, and the vulnerability of the students. Both performance and direction are perfectly executed” ★★★★★ from North West End
