Curious about what it's actually like to be a teacher? Join Kelvin, a young, idealistic educator as he 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. Written from personal experience, 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.
