The History Boys
3 February 2010
to 6 March 2010
Quarry Theatre
Alan Bennett’s phenomenally popular play explores the anarchy of adolescence, the value of history and the purpose of education.
Eight Sheffield sixth-formers are aiming for Oxbridge. Clever, funny and boisterous, they’re as interested in sex and sport as they are in quoting poetry and memorising dates. So can their teachers put aside staff room rivalry and win over the pupils’ hearts and minds?
Hilarious and provocative, The History Boys won Olivier, Evening Standard, Critics’ Circle, South Bank Show, New York Drama Critics’ Circle and Tony Awards for Best New Play. This brand new production is directed by Christopher Luscombe.
‘The best moments in reading are when you come across
something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things
– which you had thought special and particular to you. Now
here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have
never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if
a hand has come out and taken yours.’
