4.0 out of 5 stars This is a humerous, witty play and fun to be read in a group, February 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Our Day Out (Modern Classics) (Paperback)

I enjoyed reading this play. It was fun to be read in the Liverpudlien accents!!!!! It is about two teachers that take the'Progress class' on a 'day out', not knowing what the children have instore for them. A good read!
