Join Evie, a young, idealistic educator as she unsuccessfully navigates a teacher's day-to-day challenges, courtesy of the education system. Contrary to popular belief, teaching is not a calling. Countdown is a play that exposes what teachers go through on a daily basis and challenges the stigma surrounding discourse on teachers' mental health. Drawn from the personal experiences of teachers across the UK and Singapore, it highlights the lack of support that teachers receive, demarcates the fine line separating dedication and burnout, and is a stark reminder that teachers are, at the end of the day, only human.
