A warm, funny and deeply moving story of the anarchy of adolescence, faculty rivalry and the true purpose of education. Eight bright working-class students must pass their exams to secure places at prestigious schools, but are caught in a tug of war between a young teacher intent only on helping them test well and a fervent teacher of English and poetry who attempts to ignite their passion for knowledge and for life. Winner of Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play.
This production was the regional theatre premiere of The History Boys.
