If, by the end of this article, you’re not loading up a “Best of the 90s” playlist, then congratulations. Ready? Okay, here goes: the hilarious comedy Education, Education, Education is coming to Trafalgar Studios. And with it brings a whole heap of 90s goodness; we’re talking The Spice Girls, Oasis, Take That, the Macarena, the Teletubbies, and a pre-Harry Potter and iPhone world. In the words of the show itself, “Now That’s What I Call 1997”.

Education, Education, Education is the Wardrobe Ensemble’s irreverent and inventive story of schooling in the 1990s – May 1997, to be precise.

And while political change occurs outside of the classroom, courtesy of one Tony Blair, there’s also a revolution within it, as schoolteachers struggle to keep up with the changing world.
Full of music, fads and icons from the 90s, the show is a playful take on the onset of the twenty-first century. It begins performances at London’s Trafalgar Studios from 31 May. And from the looks of things in the rehearsal room, we have plenty to look forward to – take a look at James Bullimore’s snaps of the Wardrobe Ensemble in rehearsal below…
