Synopsis

Latin! - a play in two unnatural acts - is set in a remote old-fashioned boys' prep school where dark secrets lurk behind the facade of boiled cabbage and cricket whites. Dominic Clarke, an effete young latin teacher, has become a little too intimate with 13-year-old pupil Rupert Cartwright. Cantakerous Senior Master Herbert Brookshaw, older than the furniture and whose only ambition - thwarted - is to be headmaster, has suspicions - and his own way of getting to the bottom of things...
 

Latin! is Stephen Fry at his best - hilarious, outrageous, Fringe First-winning comedy. Stylistically highly inventive, Latin! brings the so-called 'fourth wall' of theatre up and down as the audience move in and out of ‘playing’ class 6B at Chartham Park Preparatory School.
