I see Alan Bennett's History Boys won six Tony awards, equalling the benchmark set by Death of a Salesman more than 50 years ago. The play has been very successful in attracting large audiences on Broadway. Who would have thought that a play about students studying history 'A' levels would have been so popular. Do you think it will increase the number of students opting to do history?
