This event joins two favourites from the long running Horrible Histories stage collection, which adapts the bestselling books by Terry Deary. Terrible Tudors explores the dramatic reigns of Tudor monarchs, while Woeful Egyptians dives into the beliefs, customs and rulers of ancient Egypt. Both halves use sketches, songs and simple staging to make real history feel immediate and entertaining.
The Horrible Histories live format has been performed widely across the UK for many years, earning praise for presenting facts in a way that children remember.
