The History Boys

by Alan Bennett

The History Boys is set in a school in the North of England where a boisterous bunch of bright, funny sixth formers are attempting to gain entrance to Oxford and Cambridge whilst fending off the distractions of sport and sex.

The History Boys

In Alan Bennett's much-loved play, staff room battles and the anarchy of adolescence provide a rich vein of comedy.

The History Boys opened in may 2004 at the National Theatre to rave reviews and a sell-out run. It went on to win 30 major awards including both Olivier and Tony Awards for Best New Play - with a film version following soon after.

This will be the first major revival of the play since the original production.
