Presented by Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys.
Who is the God of dog poo bags? How did the microwave get its ping? What ancient crime was Yorkshire the punishment for… And why was it inflicted upon us?
Senior professors of history, and rather silly men, Lee Hithersay and Robert Rhys Bond, forge three new myths from the unhinged minds of their audience - and a boatload of cardboard props!
Will it be Greek? Viking? Ancient Babylonian? They haven’t a clue! That’s all up to you. Help shape the stories, and even become the hero yourself (if you want, no pressure) in this epic interactive experience.
The renowned Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys present a hilarious hour of high-octane adventure for children and childish adults. Featuring clowning, storytelling, live music and more. You’d be mad to myth it!
