The History Boys


Tuesday, 8th May
A last minute decision to watch "The History Boys" at 9.20pm on a Tuesday night, was a fortuitous one. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A story of 8 boys in their final year facing exams with the hopes of entering Oxford and Cambridge, and the various teachers charged with the tasks of preparing them for the exams, and/or for life. (Yes, there are shades of "Dead Poets Society" in this). They're clever, bright, cheeky lads, and a delight to watch. They're also very fond of their unorthodox English master Hector. The toffee English accents added to the sharp, crisp dialogue. Well worth seeing.
