The History Boys

Alan Bennett - 2006 Tony Award
An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form (senior) boys in a British boarding school are, as such boys will be, in pursuit of sex, sport, and a place at a good university - generally in that order. The History Boys not only questions the nature of history and how it is taught but also questions the purpose of education today.
