ALAN Bennett’s comic masterpiece The History Boys is set to delight audiences at Crewe Lyceum Theatre.
The award-winning show will open at Crewe Lyceum Theatre on Tuesday, May 5 from 7:30 PM.
Winner of over 30 major awards including the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best New Play, The History Boys is a hilarious and exceptionally moving play about the true purpose of education.
The History Boys is the story of a group of bright, funny and unruly sixth-formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university.
Staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence overflow, provoking insistent questions about history and how you teach it.
The cast features Richard Hope as Hector, Kedar Williams-Stirling as Dakin, Steven Roberts as Posner, Christopher Ettridge as Headmaster, Mark Field as Irwin, Susan Twist as Mrs Lintott, Sid Sagar as Akthar, Matthew Durkan as Crowther, Patrick McNamee as Lockwood, David Young as Rudge, Alex Hope as Scripps, Joshua Mayes Cooper as Timms, Chris Barritt as TV director and Melody Brown as Fiona.
This brand new production for 2015 is presented by Sell a Door Theatre Company, whose recent productions include Avenue Q, which appeared at the Lyceum during its 2014 Spring tour.
