The Dead School

★★★★‘Top of the class…Director Andrew Flynn pulls out all the stops…Pat McCabe at his best.’The Sunday Times

The Dead School is a titanic clash between the forces of modernism and tradition in 1970s Ireland. Raphael Bell, an old style national school teacher, whose life is haunted by images and memories from his past, has devoted his life to upholding all that is traditional, pure and wholesome in the Ireland of Eucharist Congresses. On the other side stands Malachy Dugeon, a first year teacher and one of the new breed about town, where rock music and American movies are king and rules are made to be broken. When these two men come together, chaos is only round the corner.
