HORRIBLE HISTORIES Returns to The Marlowe

This time around, Horrible Histories will be telling tales of the Terrible Tudors and the Awful Egyptians, with a show that finally overcomes the problem that everyone you want to meet from history is dead! Adults and children will be thrilled by these astounding shows, which bring history to life using actors and amazing 3D special effects.

In the Terrible Tudors, you'll go from the horrible Henries to the end of evil Elizabeth, and hear the legends (and the lies!) about the torturing Tudors. Find out the fate of Henry's headless wives and his punch up with the Pope. Meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed. Survive the Spanish Armada as it sails into the audience!

From the fascinating Pharaohs to the power of the pyramids, discover the foul facts of death and decay with the meanest mummies with Awful Egyptians. Are you ready to rumble with Ramesses the Great? Dare you enter through the Gates of the Afterlife? It's the history of Egypt with the nasty bits left in!

Horrible Histories is at The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury from Thursday 30 May to Sunday 2 June, with performances at 10.30am and 1.30pm, except for Friday 31 May, when they will be at 10.30am and 7pm. Tickets can be booked at marlowetheatre.com or by calling Box Office on 01227 787787.
