History Boys DVD - Meet the boys who made history by winning six 2006 Tony® Awards. From award-winning playwright Alan Bennett (The Madness of King George) comes this delightfully witty comedy of eight boisterous-yet-talented schoolboys hoping to gain admittance to England’s most prestigious universities. Assembling the entire original Broadway cast for this acclaimed film version, The History Boys is a wickedly funny look at history, higher knowledge and the utter randomness of life set at Cutler’s Grammar School in 1980s Britain. In addition to award-winning performances by Richard Griffiths (Bleak House, Harry Potter films) and Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), History is made by James Corden (Starter for Ten) and Stephen Campbell Moore (Wallis and Edward). Extras include audio commentary by director Nicholas Hytner and writer Alan Bennett. Recommended for mature viewers.

History Boys CD - Make History come alive in your home, your car or anywhere you travel. Alan Bennett’s award-winning play is brought to life with an accomplished National Theatre cast in a vivid performance originally heard on BBC Radio 3. Described as “the richest play Bennett has ever written” (Financial Times), all the revelry, anarchy and intensity of the Tony® Award-winning play is captured on two CDs.
