Is this any way for children to learn about history? Too right it is! If lessons were always like this, kids would be queuing up at the school gates every morning. Be Thrilled!
- The Times


As gleefully vulgar as a Roman poo stick! It's perfectly horrid and my daughter loved it!
- The Daily Mail


Heartily enjoyable and loudly appreciated. Britain seems not so much 'barmy' as barbarous. bloodthirsty and stark raving bonkers- -Time Out


A theatrical romp with the squelchiest sound effects on the London stage
- The Guardian


Blood, guts and gross gags - a sharp 60 minutes through centuries of our island's barminess!
- Evening Standard


Every child whatever age will gather some juicy titbit of historical information and that is the genius of the concept. We loved it and would happily go back for more!

I enjoyed contagious songs and funny skits with one of the most diverse audiences I've come across in the West End. An excellent show by two awe-inspiring performers.

A delightful production. If history lessons were presented in a similar manner, history would certainly triumph.

In this one hour production I learned more about British history than I have in the eleven years I've lived in the UK. My daughter and I continued to talk and learn for days after seeing it.

The energy supplied by the two actors is electric, the material is engaging and the show is hilarious - even for the adults. An opportunity to ignite your child's interest in history could not be found in a more entertaining way.

What a show! Racing through various kings and queen, invasions with executions, diseases and affairs of the night thrown in, TerryDeary's books have translated brilliantly to the stage.
