HORRIBLE HISTORIES: BARMY BRITAIN

Birmingham Stage Company return to Cambridge with the next instalment of the Horrible Histories Live franchise, Barmy Britain, a family show for ages 5+.  Running at The Cambridge Arts Theatre between 24 - 28 AUGUST 2021.

We all want to meet people from history… the trouble is everyone is dead! So, it’s time to prepare yourselves for this very special production of Horrible Histories live on stage! Can you beat battling Boudicca? Would you be a martyr for the Magna Carta? Will you lose your head or your heart to horrible Henry VIII? Will Parliament survive Gunpowder Guy? Dare you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria! It’s the horrible history of Britain with the nasty bits left in – to entertain the whole family this August! 

Birmingham Stage Company is one of the world’s leading producers of family theatre, staging over 80 productions for both adults and children. They have worked with an esteemed list of children’s writers, from David Walliams and Michael Morpurgo to Terry Deary, the writer of the popular Horrible Histories series. Birmingham Stage have produced fifteen world premieres of Horrible Histories Live on Stage, including Terrible Tudors, Groovy Greeks, Awful Egyptians and many others. Barmy Britain was the longest running children’s show in West End history, and it has also been performed internationally, notably at the Sydney Opera House.
