Sell A Door Theatre Company with
The first London production since the National Theatre of
THE HISTORY BOYS
by Alan Bennett

Nationally renowned Sell a Door Theatre Company revive one of Alan Bennett's most successful plays to date 'The History Boys'.

A bunch of unruly and bright sixth formers. A maverick English teacher and a fresh faced supply teacher. A Headmaster obsessed with the league tables and the history teacher who thinks he’s an idiot.

In Alan Bennet’s award winning play, sex and sport play just as much a part in these teenager’s lives as historical fact and poetry. But will the teachers be able to put aside their own squabbles to help their students navigate the anarchy of adolescence. This hilarious and thought-provoking play questions the purpose of education and the value of history.

Sell A Door Theatre Company (renowned for their tours of Lord of the Flies and Spring Awakening) bring the first revival in London of The History Boys since the incredibly successful National Theatre production. The History Boys won both the Laurence Olivier Award and Tony Award for Best New Play in 2005/6.
