And here it is, set down by someone else, a person youve never met, maybe even someone long dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form boys pursue sex, sport and a place at university, adolescent anarchy and staffroom rivalry provoke insistent questions about history and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe History Boys premiered at the National Theatre, London, 2004, winning Evening Standard, Critics Circle, Olivier and South Bank Awards. On Broadway, it received numerous awards, including six Tonys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing could diminish the incendiary achievement of this subtle, deep-wrought and immensely funny play about the value and meaning of education . . . a superb, life-enhancing play. GuardianBrilliantly funny, with lines that we will, I hope, be quoting for years to come and several show-stopping vignettes. Bennett is still naughty, impish, endlessly ironic. But by the end tears are as near as laughter. The History Boys is moving, disquieting: one follows it with a heart brimful.
