We all want to meet people from history! The trouble is everyone is dead!

So it’s time to prepare for Horrible Histories live on stage with the acclaimed production of Gorgeous Georgians and Vile Victorians!

Are you ready to swing with a Georgian king? Does the Duke of Wellington get the boot? Would you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin?  Can you help detectives find the headless man? Dare you dance the Tyburn jig? Will you be saved by Florence Nightingale? Find out what a baby farmer did and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

Don’t miss this horrible history of Britain with the nasty bits left in!

Reviews

"Neal Foster has adapted Terry Deary's fun history books for children into a raucous, fast-paced experience, that's snappy, silly and a lot of fun!"
WhatsOnStage
"Horrible Histories is back, channelling Monty Python, the Reduced Shakespeare Company and Punch and Judy along the way. And the closing number must be just about the most politically edgy thing in the West End"
The Times
"Horrible Histories are the best thing to have happened to children’s history ever. The superb actors delight, inform and entertain to make history hilarious.""
LondonTheatre1
"Truly entertaining and humorous with fantastic performances. What a fabulous and quirky way to take us through British history!"
The Artiscape
"Few would fail to be engaged by this energetic duo who dash out the puns, the wordplay and the songs with uncompromising skill and dedication"
Radio Times
"Horrible Histories turns historical lessons into hilarious, memorable events which have you howling and learning in equal measure! It provides everything you could wish for, brings a genuine smile to your face and it's children's theatre of the highest degree!"
Rewritethestory
"This hilarious and silly show captures the spirit of the HH books perfectly with plenty for adults and children to enjoy. It never talks down to the children - it's immensely entertaining, educational and brings sheer joy!"
