Tales of the macabre are big hit with theatre audiences
IT would seem Bradford audiences can’t get enough of either the Terrible Tudors or the Vile Victorians.
The Horrible Histories stage show, based on the hugely popular Terry Deary books, is in Bradford next week - and the Alhambra Theatre has already added an extra performance due to massive demand for tickets.
The Horrible Histories books, which are the best-selling non-fiction books for children in the world and have been translated into 40 languages, are history lessons told like never before, featuring all manner of disgusting characters revealing stories from our past.
The BBC adaptation has won the British Comedy Award for best TV Sketch show and the RTS Best Childrens TV programme.
It seems the stage adaptation is equally popular, with the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford, which is hosting the show from February 28 to March 3, adding an extra performance on the final date the show is in town.
Produced by the Birmingham Stage Company, the Terrible Tudors features the legends of ‘the torturing Tudors’, and tells the story of the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch up with the Pope while in Vile Victorians the show reveals exactly what a baby farmer did.
For tickets call 01274 432000. The extra show is at 6pm on March 3.
