The play "The Worst Professor in the World," by the Algarve-based company Lama Teatro, returns to Lisbon on September 26 and 27 at Boutique Cultura.

With text by Diana Costa e Silva, Hugo Van der Ding, and João de Brito, who also directs and performs, the show has toured dozens of schools and stages in Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, and Macau.
