- Sep 8th 2009 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm
There are two auditions coming up for Alan Bennett’s The History Boys at Woodley Theatre
Dates – 24 – 28th November
Audition: 2nd and 8th September 7.30pm
The Headmaster is delighted; Cutler’s Grammar school has never had such good A level results.
But can they get their star history pupils through the Oxbridge exams?
Three teachers with different approaches try to coach them, whilst the boys wrestle with their hormones and ambitions.
Bristling with memorable characters and classic one-liners, this play won multiple awards in the West End and on Broadway before being made into a successful film.
