Cam is a hopeless romantic, a secondary school teacher falling for a handsome stranger. Crystal is an online model, punishing men for money.

One has pupils, the other only fans. But they share a shameful secret…

Barbara Smith (EastEnders) brings 15 unique characters to life in a gripping new play from Erin De Frias and Dorsetborn (Fort). Lessons from Teacher is a romcom-thriller about love, suspicion, and the warring roles we play in adult life. Who do you trust to see the real you?

Made in Dorset.
