Horrible Histories World Wars

We were proud to present these world premieres of HORRIBLE HISTORIES live on stage!

FRIGHTFUL FIRST WORLD WAR
The show tells the story of 13 year old Angelica Taylor who is sucked into the Horrible Histories website.  There she discovers how the war started, how troops were treated, the conditions in the trenches, what the soldiers ate, the weapons they faced, the fearsome courts-martial, the sinking of the Lusitania, the infamous ghost stories, world war songs and experience what it was like to go over the top. You'll leave the theatre in no doubt why this was called the Great War.

WOEFUL SECOND WORLD WAR - BLITZED BRITS
From the brutal Blitz to the soggy shelters, the show tells the story of two Coventry children, Alf and Sally, who get evacuated to darkest Wales, escaping damp shelters and nightly bombings only to suffer rotten rations, scary schools and even scarier new parents. It's packed with facts and there are ground-breaking 3D Bogglevision effects to witness the bombing of Coventry. Discover everything you need to know about surviving battling Britain!

It's kid's theatre with the nasty bits left in!
