The History Boys is a brilliant, beguiling and extraordinarily entertaining British comedy.

In the mid 1980s in a grey and grim northern Grammar school, a select number of very bright boys are desperately trying to pass the Oxbridge entrance exams.

What evolves is a story that effortlessly illustrates the bravado, humour and vulnerability of teenagers as they navigate their way to adulthood.
