⭐ THE HISTORY BOYS – WEST END REVIVAL ANNOUNCED ⭐
A West End revival of the original, multi-award-winning production of Alan Bennett’s THE HISTORY BOYS has been announced.
THE HISTORY BOYS will return to London’s West End next year for the first time in 20 years.
Considered one of the best plays of the 21st Century, THE HISTORY BOYS received its World Premiere at the National Theatre in 2004 before transferring to the West End and Broadway, winning three Olivier Awards and six Tony Awards and launching the careers of its young cast.
Originally directed by multi-award winner Nicholas Hytner and designed by Olivier Award winner Bob Crowley, the two will reunite to bring this seminal production to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a 16 week engagement from April 2027.
Casting for the production will be announced in January 2027.
Set against a backdrop of 1980s Britain, Alan Bennett’s history-making play tracks the course of eight schoolboys at an all-boys Grammar School in Sheffield, as they navigate sex, school politics and their teachers’ intellectual battle of wills. Poignant, subversive and deeply funny, THE HISTORY BOYS explores sexuality, adolescence and the nature of history, challenging the purpose of education whilst reflecting the changing face of England.
THE HISTORY BOYS is written by Alan Bennett.
THE HISTORY BOYS will play the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, running from 10th April – 24th July 2027, with tickets on sale now.
Brilliant! ! !
