Horrible Histories returns once more for a summer season in the West End, celebrating even more of barmy Britain’s history! After seven sensational years, Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain Part Four plays at the Apollo Theatre from August 1st 2019.

We all want to meet people from history. Unfortunately, the people that we want to meet are very much dead! But never fear, the Horrible Histories clan is here to ensure that you get to meet every single one of your favourite characters from Britain’s barmy past!

Discover the ruthless Romans, vile King Richard III, and the terrible teeth of Queen Elizabeth I! Hide from King James I’s witch hunt and mount a mutiny against Henry VIII! How about seeing Mary Tudor knock the spots off Mary Queen of Scots? Then you can pop along to the world of Samuel Pepys and join the Georgian hunt for the headless man. Top it all off with a night-time trip with the soil men and figure out how to survive the first train ride!

After seven sensational years in the West End, Birmingham Stage Company adapt Terry Deary’s beloved book series into yet another glorious stage adaptation. Dubbed as “history with the nasty bits left in!” previous productions include Barmy Britain I, II & III as well as More Best of Barmy Britain.
