A dark and compelling vision of a world infected by violence. A
seemingly normal detention in a seemingly normal modern-day
comprehensive school. A teacher valiantly battles on with biology
revision. She believes only education will set her pupils free. For
outside the classroom, the world is in the middle of a long and
bloody war. Despite her best efforts, the tide of conflict is soon
lapping at the school gates and, one by one, pupils and teacher are
pulled under as their hopes and dreams float away from them. 'Sam
Holcroft is uncompromising in her ideas and deeply ambitious for
the power of theatre. It's a long time since a young writer has
thrilled me this much' Vicky Featherstone, director of the National
Theatre of Scotland's production of Cockroach
