Families can watch Horrible Histories’ live show from cars
Britain’s favourite fun-filled history show will be entertaining families across the land during the Easter holidays. Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain will be rolling into car parks around the country so viewers can enjoy a COVIDsafe show in the comfort of their own vehicle.
Neal Foster, actor/director, Birmingham Stage Company says: “I’m over the moon to be back on tour with Barmy Britain after its hugely successful tour last summer. It’s weird and wonderful to be performing in car parks and to see the audience having fun behind their windshields. We can’t wait to get back out there”.
