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 live on stage with the world premiere of Barmy Britain at the Garrick theatre.
Have you ever wondered why the Romans never won MasterChef? What if a Viking moved in next door? Would you lose your heart or head to horrible Henry? Will Parliament escape gunpowder Guy? Enrol yourself at Georgian Crime School, dare to dance the Tyburn jig and find out what a baby farmer did!
Set in loathsome London, Birmingham Stage Company proudly present the world premiere of Barmy Britain following its acclaimed productions of Terrible Tudors, Vile Victorians, Awful Egyptians and Ruthless Romans.
Don’t miss this horrible history of Britain with all the nasty bits left in!
