The Reluctant Teacher (Work-in-Progress)

Kevin Precious used to be a teacher. He enjoyed the teaching part; it was the stuff that goes with it that was a drag. So he left. A funny overview of the pitfalls and pratfalls that go with his former profession; with a bit of pedagogical stuff (ooh-er) thrown in for good measure. ‘Kevin’s stage charisma and poise set him head and shoulders above the previous acts' - The Times. 'Instantly recognisable stage presence and boundless wit' - Leicester Mercury. 'Delightfully funny and thought-provoking' - Arts in Leicestershire

The show ought to appeal to both teachers and non-teachers alike, and there is plenty that is accessible to the public as well. As suggested, there is a certain amount of polemic that goes with it regarding the parlous state of the profession; obviously, there are going to be some nice anecdotes and observations as well... some of which will recall one's own schooling and therefore be accessible to everyone.
