This public production is part of LAMDA’s 2026 Autumn Season II, and brings together our graduating MFA Professional Acting students and BA (Hons) Production and Technical Arts students, working alongside a professional creative team.
About the production
It’s May 1997. Tony Blair has won the election and Katrina and the Waves have won Eurovision. Channel 5 is a month old. No one knows who Harry Potter is. Britain is the coolest place in the world.
At the local secondary school it’s a different story. Miss Belltop-Doyle can’t control her Year 10s, Mr Pashley has been put in charge of a confiscated Tamagotchi, and Miss Turner is hoping that this muck-up day goes smoother than the last. Tobias, the German language assistant, watches on. Things can only get better.
Education, Education, Education is The Wardrobe Ensemble’s love letter to the schools of the 1990s and asks big questions about a country in special measures, exploring what we are taught and why, and where responsibility lies.

The Wardrobe Ensemble are a group of theatre artists working together to make new plays that dissect the twenty-first century experience. We consist of nine core members, one producer and a constantly growing community of associate artists. We are based in Bristol.
Flashy, rough, silly and serious, we explore the big ideas of our time through intimate human stories. We are usually energetic, often irreverent and dedicated to finding the place where the intellectual and the emotional collide.
