History Boys - Differences between the film and the play

These include:

  • the number of characters who appear
  • the setting (which is limited to the school and other indoor spaces in the play)
  • what happens to Posner and Irwin at the end

Be careful to follow what happens in the play, not what you have seen in the film.
