The History Boys

Alan Bennett's play about eight bright sixth-formers at a Sheffield grammar school in the 1980s, cramming for Oxbridge while two very different teachers argue over what education is for. Nicholas Hytner directs this revival of the National Theatre production, back in the West End for the first time in about twenty years.
