Description
We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead!
From the fascinating Pharaohs to the power of the pyramids, discover the foul facts of death and decay with the meanest mummies in Egypt. 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!
Using actors and eye-popping 3D special effects, these two astounding shows are guaranteed to thrill you and your children. Historical figures and events will come alive on stage and hover at your fingertips!
Enjoy a double dose of Horrible Histories this Easter! See both shows on Thursday 24 April for just £40.
Awful Egyptians is a full length show. Please book Terrible Tudors if you’d like to see the Tudors.
- Admission £21 - £26
