For the very first time, your favourite songs and actors from the BAFTA Award-winning CBBC TV series will be appearing live (and dead!) on stage in a very special production!

When William Shakespeare is asked to create the greatest show on earth, he’s no idea how much trouble he’ll get from monstrous monarchs like King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria! Things hot up when Death appears – and now Boudica and Cleopatra want to take over! Can things get any worse? Of course they can!

Don’t miss this unique chance to see the amazing TV actors Richard David-Caine, Harrie Hayes, Inel Tomlinson, Ethan Lawrence and Verona Rose singing the sensational TV songs, including Charles II, Dick Turpin and many more! Featuring a live band, led by the Horrible Histories song master Richie Webb, this is one show you won’t want to miss! Bring your singing voices for a truly Horrible show!
