DRAMA

The story of an unruly class of bright, funny history students at a Yorkshire grammar school in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English master, a young and shrewd teacher hired to up their test scores, a grossly out-numbered history teacher, and a headmaster obsessed with results, the boys attempt to pass.

Based on Alan Bennett's hugely successful play, this film brings the witty, poignant story of a group of bright, working-class boys at a Sheffield grammar school (acting much like a prep school) in the 1980s, vying for spots at Oxford and Cambridge. They are taught by two contrasting teachers: the eccentric, general studies teacher Hector, who believes in learning for its own sake, and the shrewd, results-focused Mr. Irwin, brought in specifically to get them into Oxbridge. The film retains the play's sharp dialogue and complex characters, exploring education, ambition, class, and sexuality with intelligence and humor. The original stage cast reprise their roles here, bringing incredible chemistry and depth.
