Description

Witness a unique comedic re-interpretation of the pivotal moments and revolutions that shaped the world we know today. This play is a masterful blend of satire and historical narrative, offering reflections on the freedom of thought.

History was never like this when I was a schoolboy! A very enjoyable, energetic run through four pivotal episodes in UK, US and Soviet history. I particularly enjoyed the character of Ken, who I suspect may have been inspired at least in part by Dr David Starkey. Go along and be entertained.

I didn’t like it … it wasn’t really a sketch show … the individual pieces didn’t really follow sketch structure … writing and amount of jokes could be improved … as a satirical theatre piece it is fine

They made a lot of effort with costumes and acting
