THE History Boys are back and more boisterous and full of youthful vim than ever.

Set in the 1980s, Alan Bennett’s award-winning play follows a group of bright and unruly sixth-formers at a modest grammar school in Sheffield. They are streamed off as an elite set, to stay on an extra term and sit Oxbridge entrance exams. Irwin, a shrewd supply teacher is recruited to give them a push to the finish line. But Hector, they maverick English teacher finds himself at odds with the young man and his teaching methods.
