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

So it’s time to prepare yourselves for Horrible Histories live on stage! Using actors and eye-popping 3D special effects, these two astounding shows are guaranteed to thrill you and your children. Historical figures and events will come alive on stage and hover at your fingertips!

TERRIBLE TUDORS
From the horrible Henries to the end of evil Elizabeth, hear the legends (and the lies!) about the torturing Tudors. Find out the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch up with the Pope. Meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed. Survive the Spanish Armada as it sails into the audience!

AWFUL EGYPTIANS
From the fascinating Pharaohs to the power of the pyramids, discover the foul facts of death and decay with the meanest mummies in Egypt. Are you ready to rumble with Ramesses the Great? Dare you enter through the Gates of the Afterlife? It’s the history of Egypt with the nasty bits left in!

Reviews

"Mortgage the school if you have to. Ransom the governors, even. No child, or adult, should be denied the chance to see this: live theatre and history at its rip-roaring best."
Times Educational Supplement
"The auditorium seems fit to combust spontaneously in an explosion of joy and excitement. The audience shrieked as arrows whizzed over the stalls and the children were hooked!"
The Times
"I learned more in two hours than I ever did at school. Horrible Histories is bloody, gory and fun all the way!"
Hull Daily Mail
"A history lesson all the children seeing it will never forget. Great storytelling with unexpected brilliant touches. A spectacular show!"

Manchester Evening News
"This fast and furious show melts away the boundary between audience and stage. We weren't just learning about history, we were living it! My son said it was the best thing he's ever seen!"
