‘A triumphal return. Barrit puts on a hypnotic performance. The actors crackle and pop with talent.

‘Still relevant - and enthralling. With Barrit genially in the lead, it's no wonder The History Boys still flourishes.'
The Times 9 January 2008

‘Bennett's lesson in life and love is an enduring delight. I am more convinced than ever of its greatness.
A superb new cast, who bring banter and the confused emotions of adolescence to exhilarating life.
Telegraph Wednesday 9 January 2008
An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth form boys in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. A maverick English teacher at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher. A headmaster obsessed with results and a history teacher who thinks he's a fool.
