In a recent national survey this comic masterpiece was voted the nation’s favourite play. Set in the 1980s, The History Boys is the story of a group of bright, funny and unruly sixth-formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. Staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence overflow, provoking insistent questions about history and how you teach it. Their A Levels may be over, but their true education is only just beginning. This brand new production from the producers of Avenue Q UK Tour is an hilariously funny and exceptionally moving play about the true purpose of education. This national treasure has proved to be the perfect night at the theatre. Alan Bennett’s numerous plays include Enjoy, The Madness of George III, Single Spies, Talking Heads and The Lady in the Van. “Pass it on boys ... that’s the game I wanted you to learn ... pass it on” www.selladoor.com | @HistoryBoysTour APRIL WED 22 – SAT 25 EVES 7.30pm.
