QETC presented the Netherlands premiere of The History Boys on October 1st 2009. Winner of 6 Tony awards in 2006, including Best Play the QETC production received rave reviews from audience members and was recommended by Time Out magazine as a Grade A production.

Set in a grammar school in northern England, the play follows a bunch of bright, funny sixth form boys in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. A huge hit in the UK and on Broadway, it is widely viewed as Bennett's masterpiece. The play combines comedy, drama - and is laced with entertaining musical interludes.


Buy, beg, steal, bribe for a ticket. As good a play as I have seen in ten years of Amsterdam theatre going.

Guys, it was fab, fab, fab. From the stupendous trick at the beginning, through fabulous lighting and fine acting. The story moves from comedy into a heart-wrenching finale. Not to be missed!!

The performance I saw was absolutely wonderful! I've seen the film and West End production and I enjoyed QETC's the most of all three! Congratulations to actors and director for a wonderful piece of work.
