Tales of Terrible Tudors and Awful Egyptians...
THOSE Terrible Tudors and Awful Egyptians are heading for the Theatre Royal Nottingham.
In 1993, the first Horrible Histories books were published. Now, in 2019, Horrible Histories Live On Stage is coming to the Theatre Royal. From Tuesday, February 26, to Saturday, March 2, there is a chance to catch Terrible Tudors and Awful Egyptians in two hilarious shows featuring eye-popping 3D special effects.
In Terrible Tudors take a trip through the horrible Henries to the end of evil Elizabeth and hear the legend (and the lies!) about the torturing Tudors. Find out the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch-up with the Pope. Meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed. Survive the Spanish Armada as it sails into the audience!
Awful Egyptians invites you to meet the fascinating Pharaohs, gasp at the power of the pyramids and 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!
A special feature of the productions are the amazing 3D effects called Boggle-vision - among an array of 3D illusions the audience will see the Spanish Armada firing cannonballs into the auditorium or the Mummy reaching out to grab them!
