Best of Barmy Britain is coming to town

THE West End production of Horrible Histories Best of Barmy Britain is coming to Loughborough.

The acclaimed show, which has been at the Sydney Opera House, will be at Loughborough Town Hall on Friday, June 2, and Saturday, June 3.

The show is a quick gallop through several thousand years of British history with actors Laura Dalgleish and Neal Foster. Can you beat battling Boudica? Will King John be a martyr for the Magna Carta?

What if you caught the putrid plague?

Would you lose your heart or head to horrible Henry VIII?

Will Parliament survive gunpowder Guy?

Dare you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin?

Just some of the questions audiences will find answers for in the splendiferously funny 70-minute show where fascinating charac- ters will be introduced and lots of incredible facts will be told.

It’s said to be history with the nasty bits left in!
