About

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

So BARMY BRITAIN is back with the hit West End show, full of crazy new characters and rude new rulers from Britain's barmy past!

Will you be conquered by William? Will you sink or swim with King Henry I? Go house hunting with Henry VIII! Join the gorgeous Georgians as they take over England! Break into Buckingham Palace and hide from the Queen Victoria!

Britain's favourite history show is back!

It’s history with the nasty bits left in!

Running time is approximately 60min with no interval. Suitable for ages 5+.
