It's the week before the Cockaigne High School drinking society fundraiser and something's gone terribly wrong, if only everyone could agree on what that something was. Was it that the wrong band was booked? Was the escaped murderous convict stalking the place? Or was it the Tesco's meal deal on sale?
Cockaigne Drinking Society is a dark satirical farce that boils down the most despised aspects of the UK education system. Everyone’s got a bone to pick about how schools are run and who gets to do what, but not everyone thinks the same. This short-lecture length comedic play pits the most unbearable and relatable periods of school life - student politics, underaged drinking, and being hunted by a serial killer.
This show shall be one of two productions our independent theatre copmany - Pique Theatre - shall be debuting with at fringe. Our other production, Gross Domestic Product, is similarly advertised on this site.
