The Afternoon Theatre on Radio 4 is running a 4-part serial, a dystopian piece set in a school. Chaos, political correctness, dogma and distorted aims are discovered by an outsider who goes in to produce a play. It all sounds depressingly close to reality!

Not so much 'close' - in uncomfortably many places, it's smack on. IME. -
The resulting school production of Romeo and Juliet was performed (against all the odds!) on R4 today. It was an inevitably shortened version, but I found it quite moving. The soundscape throughout the series and today was excellent.

Totally agree.
A remarkable sequence of dramas.
Tom Hollander outstanding, as were the kids.Comment
