The History Boys to return with new UK tour

September 10, 2014 - Staff@seenituk

The_History_Boys_2Alan Bennett’s multi award-winning The History Boys is returning in 2015 with a new UK tour.

The play, voted the nation’s favourite in a poll organised by English Touring Theatre, has won over 30 major awards including the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best New Play.

It tells the story of a group of bright, funny and unruly sixth-formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university.

Their maverick English teacher is at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher, whilst their headmaster is obsessed with results and league tables. Staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence overflow, provoking insistent questions about history and how you teach it.

Their A Levels may be over, but their true education is only just beginning…

The History Boys premiered at the National Theatre in 2004 and helped launch the careers of many of its original cast members, including James Corden and Dominic Cooper.

It also had a successful run on Broadway in 2006 and was also turned into a film adaptation featuring the original stage cast.
 
This brand new production for 2015 is presented by Sell a Door Theatre, whose recent productions include Avenue Q (2014 UK Tour), Spring Awakening (2011 UK Tour) and Seussical (West End).

English Touring Theatre is supporting the run by giving away 100 pairs of free tickets as part of their commitment to growing audiences and increasing access to regional theatre.

 David Hutchinson, Artistic Director of Sell a Door Theatre said today: “We are delighted to be launching our 2015 season with the UK revival tour of the nation’s favourite play by one of Britain’s most cherished playwrights.

“Sell a Door prides itself on engaging young adults in live theatre, and our partnership with English Touring Theatre subsidising free tickets will allow hundreds of first time patrons to see this critically acclaimed play.”
