Review:
A jiffy bag http://thisav.fun/ thisavcom
If any production summed up the intelligent-populist ethos that Hytner has fostered it’s this runaway triumph, which put the theatre on everyone’s lips again and launched the careers of a whole classroom of young male actors – Dominic Cooper, James Corden and Russell Tovey among them. Rarely writing better than he did here, Alan Bennett penned a richly atmospheric account of a group of clever schoolboys at a northern grammar school in the early Eighties, studying for Oxbridge entrance exams. The piece combined superb one-liners with food for thought in contrasting the humane liberalism of the old English teacher Hector, beautifully played by Richard Griffiths, with the cut and thrust of a new supply teacher, Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore).
