The History Boys
- Jun 11th 2009 to Jun 13th 2009
“The school gives them an education. I give them the wherewithal to resist it.”
Redbridge Stage Company (www.redbridgestage.co.uk)
Alan Bennett’s multi layered play comes to the local stage trailing a host of awards in its wake. It features an unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form boys 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.
