- Synopsis
- Based on Alan Bennett's superb screenplay, directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring the original National Theatre cast members, including Richard Griffiths, Frances de la Tour, Stephan Campbell Moore and Clive Merrison The History Boys brings together eight bright, funny history students in the north of England in the mid 1980s.
With a headmaster obsessed with breaking into the ranks of those schools that regularly send boys up to Oxford and Cambridge he enlists Irwin (Moore), a shrewd newcomer, to coach the boys into intellectual shape for the trials ahead.
Seduced though they are by the exam-busting bag of tricks offered by the temporary supply teacher, the boys are torn by their loyalty to the hugely eccentric, poetry-spouting English master Hector (Griffiths).
As they prepare for the daunting admissions process, the journey of the History Boys becomes as much about how education works as it is about where education leads.- Awards
