Description
"A play of depth as well as dazzle, intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny." -The Daily Telegraph In The History Boys, Alan Bennett evokes the special period and place that the sixth form represents in an English boy's life. In doing so, he raises-with gentle wit and pitch-perfect command of character-not only universal questions about the nature of history and how it is taught but also questions about the purpose of education today. An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form (or senior) boys in a British boys' school are, as such boys will be, in pursuit of sex, sport, and a place at a good university, generally in that order. In all their efforts, they are helped and hindered, enlightened and bemused, by a maverick English teacher who seeks to broaden their horizons in sometimes undefined ways, and a young history teacher who questions the methods, as well as the aim, of their schooling. Winner of six Tony Awards, The History Boys was also made into a movie of the same name in 2006.
