Set in the 1980s in the north of England, THE HISTORY BOYS charts the fortunes of an unruly bunch of bright sixth-form boys in pursuit of a place at Oxford or Cambridge under the guidance of a maverick English teacher (Green Room Award-winner Rhys McConnochie) and a shrewd supply teacher (Logie-nominee Matthew Newton).
