It is appropriate that in the year that Sheffield Theatres is wearing The Stage's best regional theatre badge it has been showcasing the region. We have already had archetypal stories of pits and the decline of the steel industry; this time we are at school in Sheffield with Alan Bennett.
Sheffield Theatres will stage Alan Bennett's award-winning modern comedy, The History Boys, for the first time on the Crucible stage from Thursday 16 May - Saturday 8 June, in a new production which sees the play staged in the city where it is set.
With his production of The Full Monty on national tour, and The Daughter-in-Law opening earlier this week, Artistic Director Daniel Evans announces the new season for Sheffield Theatres.
