The History Boys, Leeds Grand Theatre

Following three sell out seasons at the National Theatre and successful runs on Broadway and the West End, Alan Bennett's acclaimed History Boys comes to Leeds this October.

The play is a coming-of-age tale telling the story of a group of unusually bright six-formers as they study for forthcoming Oxbridge examinations, while juggling teenage concerns such as girls and sports.

Directed by the National Theatre's Nicholas Hyntner, the production has won the Tony, Laurence Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Play and the 2005 South Bank Show Award for Theatre.

The History Boys will run from October 23rd to 27th, with matinee shows on Saturdays and Thursdays.

Address: Leeds Grand Theatre & Opera House. Address, 48, New Briggate St, Leeds, LS1 6NZ.
