Uptown Players continues its 2009 season with The History Boys, held April 3 – May 3, 2009, at the KD Studio Theatre. A hugely successful, sold-out hit at The National Theatre of Great Britain and on Broadway, this brilliant comedy follows the senior year of eight history students in the north of England as they try to crack admission to Oxford and Cambridge.
Unruly, bright, talented and amusing, these boys are in natural pursuit of sex, sport and a place at a good university. In all of their efforts, they are helped, hindered, and enlightened by a maverick English teacher (Bradley Campbell) who seeks to broaden their horizons, and by a young history teacher (David Plunkett) who questions the methods of their schooling. Very funny and deeply moving, The History Boys explores the anarchy of adolescence, the nature of history, and the methods and aim of education.
