Description
Next Lesson charts 18 years in the life of a fictional school set against the backdrop of Section 28, Thatcher's Local Government Act. In 1988, this act prohibited schools from "promoting homosexuality," leading to a pivotal moment for 14-year-old Michael as he comes out as gay.
Years later, Michael returns to his old school as a teacher, bringing with him his own experiences and perspectives. The play that follows is a powerful exploration of the complexities of attitudes towards LGBTQ+ issues in schools, where clashes of opinion meet moments of heartbreak, hope and love.
A critically acclaimed drama about being gay at school, Next Lesson offers a thought-provoking look at the challenges faced by staff and students alike.
