The History Boys
Directed By Nicholas Hytner
Rating
I was fascinated - on many levels. What is the stuff that boys are made of? As to the performances, I can only say a big WOW. Griffiths is a tragicomic tour-de-force; Frances de la Tour's stoical countenance speaks volumes. How ironically apt that her sole outburst is lost on the men surrounding her. The boys, all unknown faces to me, are collectively good. The easy chemistry between them is praiseworthy.
