Thousands of years after the Ruthless Romans, Savage Saxons & Vicious Vikings stormed ashore on the coast of Britain and the Gruesome Greeks competed in the first ever Olympic Games, you can relive those horribly exciting times by bringing your family to see Birmingham Stage Company's brand new Horrible Histories stage shows coming to the Theatre Royal Glasgow from Tuesday 21 until Saturday 25 June 2016.

Horrible Histories present two brand new stage shows, Incredible Invaders and Groovy Greeks, and as with their previously hugely popular productions both feature actors and 3D Bogglevision special effects. Following their UK tour they will then visit theatres further afield in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai during 2016.

In Incredible Invaders the Celts are crunched when the Ruthless Romans invaded Britain. Can crazy Caratacus save the nation? Hide behind Hadrian's Wall and witness the Savage Saxons smash their way in. Can you stop King Alfred burning his buns? Discover who's at Sutton Hoo and survive the Vicious Vikings as they sail into the audience. It's a thousand year journey with Incredible Invaders!

Groovy Greeks takes us from savage Sparta to angry Athens to discover the truth about growing up in Greece. Take on the Trojans and pummel the Persians! Compete in the first ever Olympic Games and appear in the very first play! Meet your match with the Minotaur and be zapped by Zeus! Hold on tight as you gate crash the gruesome and Groovy Greeks!

It's history with the nasty bits left in!

Writer and Director Neal Foster said: "I had a hugely exciting time bringing the Groovy Greeks to life in Horrible Histories style and loved shining the spotlight on Celtic, Roman, Saxon and Viking life in Incredible Invaders. Both shows feature special amazing 3D effects that provide a spectacular way for both children and adults to enter these extraordinary historical periods."

Are Incredible Invaders and Groovy Greeks Birmingham Stage Company's best Horrible Histories theatre shows yet? Designed to both entertain and educate their audiences from ages 5 to 105! Come and goggle at the goings on of those Groovy Greeks and let the Incredible Invaders ignite your imaginations to learn more about our island's early history. So don't delay - book your tickets today!
