“Find out the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch up with the Pope. Meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed. Survive the Spanish Armada as it sails into the audience!

“Awful Egyptians reveal 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? It’s the history of Egypt with the nasty bits left in!”

Both shows are packed with outrageous facts, famous historic characters and featuring eye-popping 3D special effects that will leave the whole family entertained. The shows are recommended for ages 5 and above.
