Families in are in for a historical treat as Horrible Histories Live on Stage arrives in town with Terrible Tudors and Awful Egyptians! These two horrible productions will take audiences on a wildly entertaining journey through history, packed with outrageous facts, larger-than-life characters and featuring spectacular eye-popping 3D special effects that will leave the whole family spellbound.
Terrible Tudors and Awful Egyptians are two separate, must-see shows that bring history to life in all its gruesome glory. Families can choose to experience one or double the fun by seeing both!
In Terrible Tudors we take a trip from the horrible Henries to the end of evil Elizabeth, hearing 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!
From the fascinating Pharaohs to the power of the pyramids, Awful Egyptians reveal 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!
