Miss Margarida's Way
Miss Margarida's Way by Roberto Athayde
Directed by Julie Drake

Miss Margarida is your teacher. Wildly unpredictable and bursting with sexual frustration, she hurls her theories at her students with a mix of seduction and aggression. Her curriculum is unique; her lessons funny and insane; her methods sacrosanct. Join her Year 8 class and experience education the Miss Margarida way.

This darkly hilarious satire on dictatorship uses Miss Margarida’s classroom to explore the relationship between the oppressor and the oppressed, with her pupils as her subjects. Miss Margarida bullies, taunts and cajoles. She is an engaging monster - the embodiment of autocracy gone mad.

Originally written as a tour de force for one actress, our production uses two. “It’s an innovative technique, and one that works superbly” (Steve Caplin – Everything Theatre)

Hanna Luna and Leena Makoff (“pitch-perfect performances” - Everything Theatre) take on the role of Miss Margarida. The Audience, along with Hugo Linton, become her students for her two outrageous lessons.

The play was written in 1971 as an allegory about totalitarianism and a satire on the politics of the dictatorship that Roberto Athayde found on his return to Brazil. It was initially banned in Brazil. Sadly, it seems just as relevant today in the light of recent world events...
