Can you beat battling Boudica? Will you roar with Richard the Lionheart? Could you survive the putrid plague? Would you be executed by evil Elizabeth? Will Parliament survive gunpowder Guy? Dare you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

  • Barmy Britain is a brilliantly fun piece of educational theatre that taught this history graduate a few new things and kept my son enthralled!
