The History Boys Tickets

Check availability / Prices

Following two sell-out seasons at the National Theatre, international and UK tours, a Broadway run and an eagerly awaited film version, Alan Bennett’s smash-hit play will begin a West End season at Wyndham’s Theatre in December.

Set in the 1980's, the History Boys is a comic drama about adolescent schoolboys. An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. A maverick English teacher at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher. A headmaster obsessed with results and a history teacher who thinks he’s a fool.

Staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence provoke insistent questions about history and how you teach it; about education and its purpose.

The production has won 30 theatre awards including Olivier, Evening Standard, Critics’ Circle, South Bank Show, New York Drama Critics' Circle and Tony Awards for Best New Play.
