Lent Week 5
Joe Richards' glorious piss-take of 1930's girls' boarding school adventure stories has been described as “gleefully perverse” by the Financial Times and “blissful” by The Observer. This exuberant, innuendo-filled comic extravaganza incorporates many familiar plot devices of the genre - a thwarted schoolgirl crush on the new Biology Mistress, a school thief, an ostracised foreigner, a midnight feast and a girls' cricket team - all culminating in a dénouement of ludicrously improbable coincidences.
