We all want to meet people from history! The trouble is everyone is dead!

So it’s time to prepare for Horrible Histories live on stage with the acclaimed production of Gorgeous Georgians and Vile Victorians!

Are you ready to swing with a Georgian king? Can you see eye to eye with Admiral Nelson? Does the Duke the Wellington get the boot? Dare you dance the Tyburn gig? Will you be saved by Florence Nightingale? Find out what a baby farmer did and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

Don’t miss this horrible history of Britain with the nasty bits left in!

Using actors and amazing 3D special effects, the astounding Horrible History shows are guaranteed to thrill as historical figures and events come alive on stage and hover at your fingertips. Written by Terry Deary – the world's best selling non-fiction writer for children – these ground-breaking theatrical presentations will leave you gasping!
