Winner - 2006 Tony Award - Best Play! To boost his school's reputation, a British headmaster hires a hotshot young history teacher to groom students for their college exams, pitting the young instructor against the school's maverick English teacher, who seeks to broaden these student's horizons in sometimes-unorthodox ways. With gentle wit and a pitch-perfect command of character, Alan Bennett has crafted a brilliantly funny play that not only raises universal questions about the nature of history, but also questions the value and meaning of education today.
