Detention

When high-school teacher Samantha Twigg (Sam) finds herself facing an educational tribunal for vague accusations of unprofessional conduct, she defends herself with wit and impassioned appeals for the freedom of reading. Will her love of women's power ballads and rosé give her the strength to face shifting tides in the field of education? Will her moral compass and her inner resources betray her when she meets an old flame who also happens to be the divorced father of one of her teenage students? This one-woman show with music raises prickly questions about the integrity of contemporary educators and how they square their humanity with their public-facing careers.
