In the context of the Thatcherite eighties, the play focuses around eight students from a north English grammar school seeking admission to the world’s most exclusive and competitive educational institutions.

Food is usually preferable to supplements, but in this case fish oil, in capsule or liquid form, may be a better source than the fish that produce it because it is purified to be free of mercury and organic toxins. I have long recommended that people consume one to two grams...
