The History Boys
“How does history happen? People decide to do stuff. Make moves. Alter things.”
Eight teenage boys prepare to apply for Oxford and Cambridge in history. The question is how to best prepare them. One teacher thinks that preparation for life is better than preparing for an entrance exam; another feels that facts provide the best foundation; a third teaches that getting the attention of the examiners in whatever way possible is the most effective. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play.
