The Horrible Histories production of Barmy Britain arrives at The Hawth from Wednesday, October 27-Saturday, October 30 to take audiences on a trip through the history of Britain with 3D effects.

Spokeswoman Lorraine McGregor said: “Can you beat battling Boudicca? What if a Viking moved in next door? Would you lose your heart or head to horrible Henry VIII? Can evil Elizabeth entertain England? Will Parliament survive gunpowder Guy? Dare you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

“The special feature of the production are the amazing 3D effects called Bogglevision. Among an array of 3D illusions, skulls hover, damns burst and missiles fly into the audience. Even adults will find it hard not to duck.”
