Teach Her

When an everyman’s life unravels, the mundane spins out into a bizarre tale of regret and revenge in this “glimpse into lives we rarely get to read about” (Sean Lock).

Local barber Jim January has what appears to be a stable life, even if it is a bit dull. But that’s about to change—and his wife Shirley leaving him is only the beginning. In the topsy-turvy world of Mark Kotting’s Teach Her, a teacher is in for the chop; an ex-pupil with psychotic tendencies wants answers; and a one-legged soldier home from war has revenge in his heart.

Tension is rising as this unique cast of characters struggle to live side-by-side in a small town.This odd and unnerving tale will leave you questioning the influence of teachers and the value of a fake leg.
