An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form (senior) boys in a British boarding school are, as such boys will be, in pursuit of sex, sport, and a place at a good university – generally in that order.  In all their efforts, they are helped and hindered, enlightened and bemused, by a maverick English teacher who seeks to broaden their horizons in sometimes undefined ways.  A young history teacher also questions the methods, as well as the aims, of the boy’s schooling.  Playwright Bennett uses his artful command of wit and character to convey the importance of this year in a boy's life as well as to raise questions about present-day education and teaching.

“This madly enjoyable play by Alan Bennett is a bright brooder with a strong streak of the showoff.” - New York Times
