The Pantaloons present The (almost) Complete History of Britain at Washington Old Hall

An inventive outdoor performance that tells the entire story of Britain in under 2 hours.

  • Booking essential

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.

Please bring something to sit on. Picnics are welcome. This performance will take place outdoors, in the nuttery.
