Information
For the very first time, your favourite songs and characters from the BAFTA Award-Winning CBBC TV series HORRIBLE HISTORIES will be appearing live (and dead) on stage in a very special production! When William Shakespeare is asked to create the greatest show on earth, he has no idea how much trouble he's going to get from monstrous monarchs like Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and Mansa Musa. But things hot up when Death appears -- and now Boudica, Napoleon and Cleopatra all want to take over! Can things get any worse? Of course they can - Loo Man's in the building! Featuring a live band, with sensational TV songs including Charles II, Dick Turpin and a bunch of Vikings we couldn't stop barging through the stage door, this is one show you won't want to miss! Bring your singing voices for a truly Horrible show! Horrible Histories® is a registered trademark of Scholastic Inc and is used under authorization. All rights reserved. Written by Terry Deary.
