Alan Bennett’s undisputed comedy masterpiece – The History Boys – opens at the Cambridge Arts Theatre on Monday.
Bursting with witty one-liners and thought provoking questions, a vibrant cast brings Bennett’s Oxbridge hopefuls brilliantly to life. In their pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university the boys discover the true meaning of education and give their teachers some lessons of their own.

Roberts (George Smith in Hollyoaks) and Richard Hope (Poldark), is directed by Kate Saxon (God of Carnage, English Touring Theatre’s The Real Thing) and designed by Libby Watson.
