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.
Sell A Door Theatre Company’s production of The History Boys will run until Saturday at the Wyvern Theatre. Tickets cost between £18 and £30.50. To book and for more details go to swindontheatres.co.uk or call the box office on 01793 524 481.
