Review From Derby Evening Telegraph
A lively and vibrant cast brought Alan Bennett's coming-of-age story 'The History Boys' to life in Niki Caister's 2012 production. By turns touching and laugh-out-loud funny the show proved extremely popular with audiences and critics alike.
The production featured a great classroom set designed and built by Tim Heywood and Ken Owen and some wonderful harmony singing from the cast, especially in a memorable rendition of 'Bye Bye Blackbird' at the climax of the show.
