The one-hour show, based on the best-selling books, will take audiences on a raucous journey of life in Britain, from the time of Roman rule to the terrible Tudors, slimy Stuarts, gorgeous Georgians and vile Victorians, right up to the frightful First World War.

Important questions will be answered during the production at the Garrick Theatre, including whether it was easier to lose your heart or your head to Henry VIII.

Audiences will also find out how to impress guests with roast dormouse, take a peek inside Georgian Crime School and find out what a baby farmer did.

Deary is the creator of Horrible Histories, and is the 10th most-borrowed author in British libraries.

Foster is actor/manager of The Birmingham Stage Company, the resident company of The Old Rep Theatre in Birmingham, which has been touring Horrible Histories’ productions for five years across the UK and beyond.
