THE HISTORY BOYS - ALAN BENNETT KARTONIERT (TB)

"A play of depth as well as dazzle  intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny." -
The Daily Telegraph    In The History Boys   Alan Bennett evokes the special period and place
that the sixth form represents in an English boy's life. In doing so  he raises-with gentle wit
and pitch-perfect command of character-not only universal questions about the nature of history
and how it is taught but also questions about the purpose of education today.   An unruly bunch
of bright  funny sixth-form (or senior) boys in a British boys' school are  as such boys will
be  in pursuit of sex  sport  and a place at a good university  generally in that order. In all
their efforts  they are helped and hindered  enlightened and bemused  by a maverick English
teacher who seeks to broaden their horizons in sometimes undefined ways  and a young history
teacher who questions the methods  as well as the aim  of their schooling.   Winner of six Tony
Awards  The History Boys was also made into a movie of the same name in 2006.
