28th April to 2nd May at Joseph Rowntree Theatre
Performances:
The History Boys

Written by Alan Bennett

HISTORY. IT'S JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.

'smart, funny, fresh & original'

An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form boys in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. A maverick English teacher at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher. A headmaster obsessed with results and a history teacher who thinks he's a fool.

In Alan Bennett's award winning play, staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence provoke insistent questions about history and how you teach it; about education and its purpose.

‘The History Boys is one of the finest plays Bennett has ever written, packed with superb one-liners A play of depth as well as dazzle, intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny.'

The History Boys premiered at The National Theatre in May 2004 starring Richard Griffiths and Frances De La Tour.

The History Boys was released as a film in 2006.
