The internationally renowned Birmingham Stage Company brings British history to life (and death) in the second instalment of the critically acclaimed Horrible Histories Barmy Britain. This unique show ruthlessly blends history and comedy and is part of Terry Deary’s goliath series of history for children, which encompasses books, magazines, television shows, theatre productions, computer games, toys, sticker books and possibly even a theme park in the near future.
After the storming success of Barmy Britain Part 1, Horrible Histories returns to the West End. One of the huge successes of the whole franchise is its ability to provide the audience with a real understanding of what life was actually like for people in the past, while providing a non-stop laugh riot from start to finish. Even though we thought the two could never go together, Horrible Histories Barmy Britain Part 2 theatre breaks really are fun yet educational!
With Horrible Histories Barmy Britain Part 2 theatre breaks, you can expect a show that is just as gory, funny, interesting, shocking, thrilling, lively, hilarious and squelchy as Part 1, but with a whole new range of topics covered. You can follow Queen Boadicea’s rebellion against the Romans and William Wallace’s rebellion against the English, learning and laughing your way through tales from Britain’s past.

"Roman culinary habits get a Masterchef makeover ("cooking doesn't come tougher than this") in Birmingham Stage Company's theatrical romp, which also features the Vikings invading in a bloody version of Relocation, Relocation and Field Marshal Haig getting fired on the final of The Apprentice for failing to win the task: the Battle of the Somme" Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
For cheap theatre breaks the Garrick offers good legroom in the rear Stalls, but for better views of Horrible Histories Barmy Britain Part 2, opt for budget seats in the Upper Circle.
