To postpone the deadline for some very tough exams, the students of Class 3C invent a visit from an Oxford professor—actually a former student, a chronic repeater like Chicco—persuading the principal to fund a performance of Shakespeare's most famous works. Chicco plays Iago, Massimo plays Cassio, Sharon is Ophelia, and Benedetta is, of course, the occasional director. In Class 3C's unique "interpretation," however, the English playwright's works become ignoble farces, with only Bruno escaping, forced to play Othello, who on the day of the "premiere" (and final) performance achieves an unexpected personal success. But once the curtain falls, the story of the fake English professor comes to light. Tragic "reruns" are prepared for everyone.

Per evitare le imminenti interrogazioni, Chicco fa credere al preside del liceo "Leopardi" che la scuola riceverà la visita del preside del King's College di Londra; in realtà è Puccio, alla sua prima apparizione, spacciandosi col nome di Mark Hateley, calciatore del Milan dell'epoca, il quale gradirebbe assistere ad una rappresentazione teatrale.
