"If you treat people like consumers, then that's how the system behaves. When we don't sell you the marks you want, you can take us to court."

Frank is a brilliant, inspiring lecturer. But now he's been suspended for speaking his mind. His wife has left him for a Greek. His son is ditching education for car sales. His boss thinks he's a cash cow but he won't sell marks in exchange for income. Exasperated by bureaucracy, can he preserve the values he holds so dear? One last act of defiance might just bring the system tumbling to its knees...

Savage, impassioned and funny, SELLOUT puts us at the heart of the crisis in our education system, where the pursuit of knowledge takes second place to the pursuit of money.

Back-stabbing, lies and manipulation: it's just another day at the Bursar's office.
