disappointing as the show only last 1 hour

very disappointed - love HH and have taken my children aged 5 & 9 to the theatre countless times to see shows and pantomimes, so we were really looking forward to this but they didn't even do "stupid deaths" actors were very good but I did get a bit bored half way through and when it finished after an hour I thought that was half time - by the looks of most of other theatre goers so did they. For the money there are better shows to go and see - sorry HH ... Read more

An hour of educational fun & humour leaves you wanting more

I went to see this show on Saturday 19th May with my 13 year old daughter. She has always watched and enjoyed the Horrible Histories TV show, so I thought this would be a good show. The two actors are so talented, full credit to them as they put their heart and soul into the performance and considering they have a basic set with a few outfits, if it wasn't for their talent, this show couldn't be a success. We learned about the Romans, Henry VIII and his wives, Florence Nightingale, the Vikings, Tynol (now Marble Arch) and the executions and some of other nasty characters. All very educational and fun with an interactive bit at the end. There's humour and fun for both adults and children. My only gripe is that it was only an hour long show. It would have had 5 stars from me had it been a 2 hour show with an interval and some more themes were covered. I would recommend if you are up in London. But otherwise, it's a long way to travel for such a short performance. Great show :-D ... Read more
