Horrible Histories Terrible Tudors at the Apollo Theatre (Jul 2024)

This event has already passed

Based on the award-winning book by Terry Deary, Horrible Histories - Terrible Tudors is a gloriously gory show packed full of crazy characters and rude rulers from Britain's past, bringing to life some of history's most infamous kings and queens like Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.

You'll meet Bloody Mary, the hunchbacked Richard III, and find out whether you're a match for the Spanish Armada as they prepare to launch their attack.

Gruesome moments like Anne Boleyn's lips moving after her head is chopped off are all handled in a lighthearted way, merging panto-esque humour with cheery tunes to ensure the young audience learn a little bit of history whilst still having fun.

What the theatre critics say...

Daily Mail: ★★★★ "Ideal for children and parents of all ages! Gore-geously grisly!"; Sunday Times: "This boisterous production hits the holiday sweet spot"; The Guardian: "Silly stories, grisly gags and revolting rhymes"
