    As the teachers struggle daily to nurture and groom, the students prefer to hang out and “chillax”. With upskirting and Facebooking, griping and politicking, school takes on a whole new meaning as the colourful characters struggle to prove that those who can, teach.Written by Singapore’s most prolific playwright Haresh Sharma, Those Who Can’t, Teach was first staged by The Necessary Stage in 1990 to critical acclaim. Twenty years later, Sharma revisits this classic to revitalise it for the Singapore Arts Festival 2010, transforming it into a powerful portrayal of the pressures and challenges facing teachers (and students) in schools in the 21st century.“The play throws up questions on the roles of parents, students and teachers, but does not collapse into an impotent tirade against society. The script is joyous. The laughter is warmly wry, not caustic.” —The Straits Times“Those Who Can’t, Teach does much to do away with the stereotypes and fallacies of the teaching profession.” —The Business Times

     They call her The Warrior Queen of Scotland… She is the most notorious woman of all Scotland: fierce, deadly and an unbeatable archer. At only three and twenty, she had become a legend amongst her people and country. Refusing a husband over her sword, Elisabeth is haunted by a vicious enemy who will stop at nothing to make her his bride. Elisabeth Drummond stands alone as she escapes the midnight massacre of everyone she holds dear in her life. Her beloved brother’s dying wish was to see her flee north towards Castle MacMillan, the elusive lair of Laird Broderick MacMillan- the King of England’s most favored warrior, and ally to Clan Drummond. A man who once held her in his arms and nearly ravished her many years ago, a man who had believed he was seducing someone entirely different. In the middle of a laird who wants to see her suffer, and a laird who refuses to trust her, Elisabeth must battle her injuries and her heart to seek vengeance for her fallen clan. Will the Warrior Queen of Scotland be able to soften the heart of Laird MacMillan? Will destiny bring her and Broderick together once again, or will cruel fate rip them from each other once more? In a time where your enemy could be your closest ally, Elisabeth rises out of the ashes…but will Broderick be the man she needs?
