The English Teachers
by Edward Napier

"Napier's subjects…are intriguing…Napier…knows how to develop scenes deftly, and he ends with some poignant points.“ —Newsday (NY). ”Trust the audience. Listen to the silent sound of spectators during one particular scene in Edward Napier's, THE ENGLISH TEACHERS…When…a flamboyant frustrated community theatre actress, and…a not unintelligent hunky stud stalk each other in words and movements that barely screen their sexuality, the audience rewards them with a palpable hush broken only by applause when the scene ends…The comedy…has strong…characters in search of fulfillment.“ —Backstage. ”His seriocomic drama is an eyes wide open tribute to his many school teacher relatives…Napier knows how to evoke a strong sense of place and provides a number of poignant scenes…a play which will, like those rare teachers who occasionally cross our paths, make a lasting impression."
