The History Boys

Drawing on his experiences as both an English teacher and House Master of a boy's boarding house, director Andy Golding presents Alan Bennett's play The History Boys.

The play follows a group of history pupils preparing for the Oxford and Cambridge entrance examinations under the guidance of three teachers with contrasting styles. Hector, an eccentric teacher, delights in knowledge for its own sake but his ambitious headmaster wants the school to move up the academic league table and hires Irwin, a supply teacher, to introduce a rather more cynical and ruthless style of teaching.

Please note that the play may not be suitable for those under 14 as it contains material of an adult nature.
