The Olivier Award-winning comedy follows the journey of ‘boys’ Posner, Dakin, Timms, Lockwood, Rudge, Akthar, Scripps and Crowther in their quest for sex, knowledge and a place to read history at Oxbridge.

The play is being directed by the Loft’s Steve Smith, who is expecting audiences members to discover elements of their own past teachers.
