The much-loved children’s favourite Horrible Histories returns to Sheffield live on stage this week with two shows: Awful Egyptians and Terrible Tudors.

From the fascinating Pharaohs to the power of the pyramids, discover the foul facts of death and decay with the meanest mummies in Egypt.

Are you ready to rumble with Ramesses the Great?

Dare you enter through the Gates of the afterlife?

Or, join the horrible Henrys and evil Elizabeth to hear the legends (and the lies!) about the torturing Tudors.

Find out the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch-up with the Pope, plus meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed.

A spokesperson for the shows – which run from Wednesday September 30 to Saturday October 3 - said: “This is perfect fun for the family - discover all the grim and gruesome truths from the past in the most hilarious way imaginable.

“It’s history with the nasty bits left in!

“Using actors and eye-popping 3D special effects, these astounding shows are guaranteed to thrill, with historical figures and events coming alive on stage and at your fingertips!”

Tickets for Horrible Histories can be booked through the Box Office in person, over the phone on 0114 249 6000, or at www.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk.

This week the following Clipper Club members are celebrating their birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
