Outdoor Theatre - The (Almost) Complete History of Britain
Outdoor theatre returns this summer with the Pantaloons Theatre Company’s hilarious and inventive history of Britain.
Mud, blood and stiff upper-lips! Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company on a breathless race through the centuries in this delightfully inventive show that tells the entire story of Britain in under 2 hours. Have you ever wanted to see the life of Henry VIII told as a romantic comedy or the tale of the Spanish Armada reimagined as a light operetta? Probably not. But that won't stop The Pantaloons retelling great moments from the country's past in a variety of surprising genres! Featuring live music, audience interaction and wild historical inaccuracy.
"Laugh-out-loud funny... endless verve and utterly infectious joy." (Northwich Guardian)
