Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain - Part Four!

Meeting people who are already dead is impossible, but with Horrible Histories, you can get insight into the lives of people during those times. Created by the Birmingham Stage Company, Horrible Histories has been touring across the world for about 13 years. They have had sold out theaters in Australia, Ireland, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Dubai, and New Zealand in addition to the UK. Following a wildly successful run in 2018 at the very same theatre, Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain makes a return to the West End stage. The show is equal parts informative and hilarious and is a truly enjoyable way to relive the history of Britain. A perfect cure for the summertime boredom, Horrible Histories incorporates wonderful humor and fun into the often dreary history of England. Although named Part Four, you’ll be able to follow the story just fine and are in for an entertaining 70-minute performance!
