Nationās favourite play makes London comeback amid renewed debate about future of humanities teaching
The History Boys is to return to the West End for the first time in two decades, with a warning from its director of an āalmost terminal declineā in humanities teaching in state schools.
Nicholas Hytner, who directed Alan Bennettās play at the National Theatre and its 2006 film adaptation, said the themes of education, history and the value of literature for its own sake felt especially relevant amid renewed debate about what schools should teach.
