At the local secondary school, petty jealousies are about to erupt in the classroom... |

At the local secondary school, Mr Peterson is not the most popular of headmasters. During his tenure at the school, he has made more than his fair share of enemies - amongst the pupils as well as the staff. When PC Foot comes to give the pupils a talk on the dangers of drugs, little does he know he is about to stumble on a crime which may make him as famous as his uncle, Inspector Foot of the Yard… Taught a Lesson is a murdernight written for a cast and audience of all ages and can be performed equally well by children, adults or a mixture of the two... |
