Lanyards and Lies

By V.D. Gale-Sides

Following in the footsteps of The History Boys, Teechers, and Girls Like That, Lanyards and Lies is a fresh addition to the school-campus drama genre.
The play follows a teacher in a London private school as they navigate dysfunctional leadership, weak behaviour policies, bullying, and the everyday absurdities of inspections and accountability.
Told through sharp vignettes, it captures both the humour and frustration of poor facilities, chaotic management, and the emotional labour of supporting students.
From Claire's battles with dress-code rules to Bob's brush with a drugs incident, the teacher's resilience and commitment shine through.
Lanyards and Lies offers a candid, witty portrait of teaching within a flawed but all-too-familiar education system.
