The story of Mr Chipping, classics master at Brookfield School since 1870, takes us on a beguiling journey. Sometimes Chips is an old man, dreaming by the fire. Then, a difficult young master taking 'prep' for the first time. Or middle-aged encountering Katherine, whose 'new woman' opinions work far-reaching changes in him.
Hilton's narrative, as succeeding generations of boys march onward through Chips' mind, is masterly. He interweaves a heart-wrenching love-story with the jokes and eccentricities of school life - at the same time chronicling a new, uncertain world, full of conflict and upheaval, far beyond the turrets of Brookfield.
Award-winning British actor, MARTIN JARVIS takes on the character of Mr Chips. His performance is remarkable for its strength, humour and compassion.
