‘If consensus was easy, everyone would do it’
Every child is welcomed at the progressive Eureka Day school in Berkeley, California – it's a point of pride for the parents on the Executive Committee.
But when a public health scare erupts, it turns out tolerance and togetherness are no match for mumps…
In Jonathan Spector's timely and hysterical comedy, polite debate descends into ideological warfare, as a democratic utopia tears itself apart.
★★★★
Cryingly funny. A hit.
The Telegraph
This autumn, Sonia Friedman Productions and The Old Vic bring Jonathan Spector's multi-award-winning off-Broadway comedy to the London stage.

A needle-sharp comedy that packs a smart and timely punch.
