Having hit the cinemas in a new screen version at the end of 2006 The History Boys finally comes London’s West End following its current, second UK national tour and led by its touring cast. Winner of the Laurence Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Awards for Best New Play in London and the Tony Award for Best New Play on Broadway, it charts the fortunes of an unruly bunch of bright sixth-form boys in pursuit of a place at Oxford or Cambridge, under the guidance of a maverick English teacher and a shrewd supply teacher. Grab your tickets and prepare yourself for a very funny and moving piece of theatre par excellence.
