Stars of BBC Three’s Live at the Electric and BBC Radio 4’s Sketchorama, Sketch maestros WITTANK invite you back into the ostentatiously furnished corridors of The School; a splendidly twisted world, and an unsettling relic of Empire, where maniacal masters rub tweedy shoulders with sharp-tongued scoundrels, and mystery and misrule abound. Old School Secrets follows on from WITTANK’s smash-hit 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, The School.
