Quartermaine's Terms: April 1993
By Simon Gray
Set in the 1960s this tragicomic play features St. John Quartermaine, a pleasant and agreeable but hopeless teacher in an English Language school for foreigners.

Mark has marriage trouble; Derek, from Hull, finds Cambridge initially unwelcoming; Eddie faces bereavement; Anita’s husband is a philanderer; Henry is trapped in a dysfunctional nuclear family and Melanie is similarly trapped caring for a mother who she despises.
An ultimately moving account of several years in the lives of seven teachers, this quintessentially British drama sees Quartermaine's position in the school threatened by a new school Principal...
