ALAN Bennett’s multi award-winning The History Boys is back in the UK with a major 2015 tour.
It will call in at Theatre Royal Winchester from March 2 to 7.
Alan Bennett's comic masterpiece was voted the nation’s favourite play in a recent national survey conducted by English Touring Theatre.
It follows a group of bright, funny and unruly sixth formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university and whose education in life is just beginning.
Widely hailed as one of the greatest theatrical events of the last decade, the play is hilariously funny and exceptionally moving.
The History Boys premiered at the National Theatre in 2004 directed by Nicholas Hytner, and helped launch the careers of many of its original cast members including James Corden and Dominic Cooper.
It went on to open on Broadway in 2006, with a film adaptation featuring the original stage cast released later that year.
The History Boys also had two successful West End runs and has won countless awards including the Oliver Award for Best New Play, Tony Award for Best Play, Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play and Evening Standard Award for Best Play.
This brand new production for 2015 is presented by Sell a Door Theatre Company.
