The History Boys

Written by Richard Watts

Alan Bennett’s play The History Boys follows an unruly bunch of bright and brash sixth‐form boys from a northern British grammar school in the Thatcherite Eighties.

The boys are in pursuit of sex, sport, spirituality... and a coveted place at one of England's finest universities.

(The 2006 film featured Richard Griffiths as the deeply philosophic, boy-groping master.)

The History Boys at the Cromwell Road Theatre, 27a Cromwell Rd, South Yarra, opens Saturday, July 18, 2009. Bookings: www.historyboys.com.au
