TO SIR, WITH LOVE

To Sir With Love is adapted for the stage by Kris Lythgoe with music & lyrics by John Farrar and Kara DioGuardi and directed by Sheldon Epps. The show also includes the title song by Don Black and Mark London, which became the best-selling single of 1967 when the film of the same name was released. Music direction is by Kenny Seymour. To Sir With Love – immortalised by Sidney Poitier's captivating performance in the 1967 cinematic masterpiece – is an autobiographical story that is every bit as relevant then as it is today. Rick Braithwaite is more than just a Cambridge-educated engineer and a former RAF fighter pilot; he's a man battling societal prejudices at every turn. Refusing to bow to adversity, he engages his students not as troublesome youths but as emerging adults who must soon navigate a world where they'll stand or fall on their own merits. Through a balance of grit and grace, he aims to prepare them for more than just exams; he prepares them for life.
