WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Written specifically for The Bats, A.R. Gurney's Office Hours takes us back to the university campus in 1974 when administrations began to doubt the value of a "Great Books" course.
The play offers striking parallels to our contemporary political climate and raises significant questions surrounding the teaching of the classics in our modern world.
