Horrible Histories provides an entertaining and educational boat tour along the Thames, celebrating its 5th anniversary. Created by Neal Foster and Terry Deary, the tour has turned learning about history into a joyous experience through humor and storytelling. As participants embark at Tower Bridge Quay, they are immersed in historical tales brought to life by energetic actors. Key historical events and figures, including Anne Boleyn and the Great Fire of London, are narrated in a lively manner, transforming a typical river tour into an interactive theatre experience.
"The tour was created by Neal Foster of the Birmingham Stage Company, in collaboration with Terry Deary, author of the bestselling Horrible Histories book series, which has now surpassed 100 titles."
"With more than 30 million copies sold and translations in 38 languages, Deary has done more than any textbook to ignite a passion for the past, turning gore, misrule and mayhem into something joyfully educational."
"Unlike the usual drone of river tour commentary, this is immersive theatre disguised as sightseeing."
"As we drifted past London landmarks, the tales came thick and fast: Anne Boleyn's watery fate at the Tower; the stink and squalor of the Clink; the inferno that engulfed London in 1666."
