The History Boys

...12.10.09

Anyone who’s ever pondered the difficulties involved in erecting a large-scale theatre production should spend some time with Jesse Peach. Barely in the midst of his 20s, here’s a guy who’s founded his own theatre company and staged numerous high-profile plays (Billy Liar, The Glass Menagerie, to name just a couple) in theatres around Auckland. Now Jesse is making the move central – putting on a show that promises to be quite spectacular: New Zealand’s premier production of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys.


Peach has assembled a cast of exceptionally talented young guys (Harry McNaughton, Todd Emerson, Milo Cawthorne, Chris Tempest and more) with some of New Zealand’s theatrical titans (George Henare OBE, Annie Whittle, Bruce Phillips), and rehearsed them until their one-liners crackle off of each other with all the zing-and-pow of a fresh bowl of Rice Krispies (that’s Brit for Rice Bubbles). Yes ma’am, it’s British, but this story of a group of precociously bright boys striving – and being “groomed” – for a place in the best schools has an undeniably universal appeal. Don’t dally – two weeks only at The Maidment.
