Starting with the hated Henries and finishing with the eccentric Elizabeth I, Horrible Histories takes us on a journey starting in the late 1400s to uncover the truth behind the Terrible Tudors. Separating fact from fiction, this hilarious history lesson sets the record straight, dissecting both the legends and the lies. Was Henry VIII actually fat? Did he genuinely marry his sister-in-law? And is it true that they didn’t eat with forks? All of this, and more, will be uncovered with the Horrible Histories crew!
This stage play belongs to the same franchise as the iconic book series by author Terry Deary; an award-winning sequence of works dating back to the 1990s. The name ‘Horrible Histories’ however is perhaps most often connected to the live-action television show, which has entertained audiences of all ages for well over a decade. The series became a staple of British television and become the first ever children’s show to win a British Comedy Award. Audiences can expect to see the same level of ingenuity in this brand-new theatrical production, which has in turn given the franchise a new lease of life.
