The History Boys

by Alan Bennett

dir. Patrick Wilson

ADC Theatre, Cambridge | 22-26 January 2019

‘How do I define history? It’s just one fucking thing after another.’

Sheffield. 1982. Eight bright but rowdy upper sixth boys are aspiring for Oxbridge, and Hector is in charge of getting them there, but the Headmaster has insisted on providing some new blood to help polish them.

A story of sexuality, lust, and potential, Alan Bennett’s acclaimed and beloved ‘The History Boys’ looks at a world where education is becoming less about what you are taught, but where it can take you.

Presented by CUADC.
