The (Almost) Complete History of Britain

Missed this one in April – never fear – its back! The wonderful Pantaloons are back in Bedford with The (Almost Complete History of Britain.

Mud, blood and stiff upper-lips!

Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company on a breathless race through the centuries in this delightfully inventive show that tells the entire story of Britain in under 2 hours.

Have you ever wanted to see the life of Henry VIII told as a romantic comedy or the tale of the Spanish Armada reimagined as a light operetta? Probably not. But that won’t stop The Pantaloons retelling great moments from the country’s past in a variety of surprising genres!

Featuring live music, audience interaction and wild historical inaccuracy.

“Laugh-out-loud funny… endless verve and utterly infectious joy.” (Northwich Guardian)
