The History Boys* (Ipswich Film Theatre)
Successful A-Level pupils spend a feverish extra few months studying for a University entrance exam.
Alan Bennett's pleasantly witty but slightly old-fashioned play (apart from its sexuality) set anachronistically in the 1980s, is adapted for the screen a little too knowingly by most of the talents involved in the successful stage production, with some of the actors looking a little over-rehearsed in their roles by now, and other elements that should have been left on the stage.
d: Nicholas Hytner
s: Richard Griffiths, Frances de la Tour, Stephen Campbell Moore, Penelope Wilton, Clive Merrison, James Corden, Dominic Cooper, Sacha Dhawan, Andrew Knott, Russel Tovey
