"Neal Foster has adapted Terry Deary's fun history books for young children into a raucous, fast-paced experience, with lots of fart gags. But the timing is also key and the performances are as personable and hilarious as they come. It's snappy, silly and a lot of fun!"

"Take your children or maybe just go by yourself. It's a blood-stained, bubo-pocked hogshead of laughs with fascinating details of the darker side of life across 1,000 years of Britain's torment in Foster's crackling script!"
The Morning Star

"If you want to truly sample what an Elizabethan theatrical experience was like, forget Shakespeare’s Globe or the Royal Shakespeare Company. Head for Horrible Histories, channelling Monty Python, the Reduced Shakespeare Company and Punch and Judy along the way. The standout moment is a James I Bake Off-inspired skit which drew peals of laughter from the audience. You could feel young imaginations being fired."
The Times

"Barmy Britain has the distinction of being the only show in London theatreland history to launch a fourth sequel and the fun and games have lost none of their zest and energy. Few would fail to be engaged by this energetic duo who dash out the puns, the wordplay and the songs with uncompromising skill and dedication."
Radio Times

"Neal Foster has been working on the Barmy Britain series since 2012 and has perfected creating engaging theatre for children. It’s funny, a little bit gross, informative and loved by all!"
