To be truly honest, this play was a work of genius, but not my favourite Bennett play by far

Essendo un'opera teatrale, consiglio di vedere perlomeno il film The History Boys per completare l'esperienza, che è comunque grandiosa. Ci sono spunti riflessivi interessanti e la comicità è favolosa.

read this for my english class in school. I found it hard to read because of it being a play with very few descriptions.
