Casting has been announced today for the 2015 tour of Alan Bennett's The History Boys. The cast will include Steven Roberts (Hollyoaks) as Posner, Kedar Williams-Stirling (Wolfblood) as Dakin, Richard Hope (Democracy) as Hector, Christopher Ettridge (Twelve Angry Men) as the Headmaster, Mark Field as Irwin, Susan Twist as Mrs Lintott, Sid Sagar as Akthar, Matthew Durkan as Crowther, Patrick McNamee as Lockwood, David Young as Rudge, Alex Hope as Scripps, Joshua Mayes Cooper as Timms, Chris Barritt as TV Director and Melody Brown as Fiona. Winner of over 30 major awards including the Tony Award and Olivier Awards for Best Play, The History Boys was nominated as the nations favourite play in a recent national survey. The History Boys is set in the 1980's. It's the story of a group of bright, funny and unruly six-formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. Their maverick English teacher is at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher, whilst their headmaster is obsessed with results and league tables. Staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence overflow, provoking insistent questions about history and how you teach it. Their A Levels may be over, but their true education is only just beginning.

The production is being directed by Kate Saxon and designed by Libby Watson.

The History Boys 2015 Tour is being produced by Sell A Door Productions
