About the play

Welton Academy, 1959: an all-male boarding school where the students have been trained for generations to lead lives of conformity and tradition. Then charismatic new professor John Keating arrives and challenges them to think for themselves, live life to the fullest and seize the day — Carpe Diem. When tragedy strikes the school, Keating and his boys find themselves at loggerheads with the school's officials, the parents and the system.
