We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead
So get ready for Horrible Histories live on stage with the best of Barmy Britain!
Can you beat battling Boudica? Will King John be a martyr for the Magna Carta? What if you caught the putrid plague? Can Parliament survive gunpowder Guy? Would you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and take a terrible trip with the Night Soil Men!
It’s the history of Britain with the nasty bits left in – to entertain the whole family this Summer!
1hr 10min. No interval.
Ages 5+.
