NEW Available Friday 3 Oct Genre: Drama

A bighearted, frazzled head teacher grapples with volatile students, dwindling resources and his own mental health in a powerful 1990s-set drama starring Cillian Murphy.

Writer Max Porter has adapted his 2023 novella (titled Shy, and which follows a struggling student) to shift the focus onto head teacher Steve during one long, critical day at Stanton Wood, a 'last chance' reform school for troubled boys.
