The Histroy Boys by Alan Bennet
I'veseen the movie version of this play before I've actually read the play. I'm a sucker for stories with student/teacher relationships (Dead Poets Society, Freedom Writers). So I thought I'd get this book and it's the first time I actually read a full-length play. It's very good, very cute. The interactions between the Oxbridge candidate students and Hector (name: Hector, nicknamed Hector) is admirable. The ending is quite heartbreaking.I don't have much to say about this play. If you're looking for a quick-read and/or you're interested in student/teacher dynamics (with lots and lots of twisted stuff in this one), I suggest you read this book. It's fun and short. (Sorry if the text's messed up, I don't know why.)
