This summer, Birmingham Stage Company returns to London’s West End with the funniest, fearsome and most farcical facts from British history in Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain - The Best Bits!, a non-stop romp through our nation’s remarkable past.

Celebrating 21 years of Horrible Histories: Live on Stage and an incredible 15 years in the West End, this special anniversary production brings together the greatest hits from the legendary Barmy Britain series for a riotous month-long run at the Apollo Theatre.

From 30 July - 31 August, it’s the perfect treat for families looking to make the most of the school summer holidays before school sneaks back in!

Audiences can expect all the glorious gory highlights: from gunpowder Guy to the notorious Nightsoil Men. Will you survive the putrid plague? Dare you stand up to cruel King John? Or escape the clutches of villainous Burke and Hare? It’s a wild ride through Britain’s barmiest moments, packed with facts, fun and fabulous figures!

A perfect first theatre trip for young audiences and a treat for grown-ups who love their history horrible, the show is recommended for ages 5 to 105 (please note 106-year-olds may not like it)!

Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain - The Best Bits! is directed by Neal Foster, featuring Emma Swan and Neal Foster, designed by Jacqueline Trousdale, with lighting by Jason Taylor, sound by Nick Sagar, music by Matthew Scott, and choreography by Kenn Oldfield.
