Joe Plumb's “razor-sharp” (IWCP) comedy Special Measures comes to Shanklin Theatre following sell-out performances at Department, Ryde.

It's a BIG and IMPORTANT day in the English corridor of an ordinary secondary school. Expect utter chaos in this high-energy, madcap comedy as we hurtle through explosive coffee machines, roller-skating Zumbathons, disastrous recreations of Macbeth, teachers trapped in stationery cupboards, and all-out wars over highlighters. 

Packed with “non-stop physical jokes, stand-up ranting, expressionist interludes – and throwing stuff” (Isle of Wight County Press), Special Measures is a fast-paced farce celebrating the madness of modern school life.

From the team behind Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and Sunset Boulevard at Shanklin Theatre, and featuring a cast of some of the Isle of Wight's funniest performers, this is a riotous new comedy not to be missed.

“If you've been to school, this is a play you'll love. If you've ever been a teacher in a secondary school, you'll love it even more.” (Isle of Wight County Press)

Special Measures is written and directed by Joe Plumb and produced by Department.
