Birmingham Stage Company will use both actors and Bogglevision, (amazing, live 3D special effects) to bring these two separate plays to life on the stage.
In Ruthless Romans you'll find out how the Romans made murder into a sport in the Coliseum with more fouls even than a Premiership football match! See eight evil emperors, lots of killer kings plus masses of gory gladiators and grim ghouls! With incredible Bogglevision effects you'll feel what it was really like to be a Roman soldier in the greatest army ever seen and fight lots of gory battles with hordes of grotty Celts – but watch out for those flaming arrows whizzing straight for you head!
In Awful Egyptians you'll learn the truth of Tutankhamen and his creepy curse and find out the fearsome facts about 'phabulous' pharaohs, mean mummies and gruesome grave robbers. You'll see how the Egyptians really lived 5000 years ago – how dead bodies were turned into mummies, how the huge pyramids were built and why some Egyptian kings had to wear false beards! Dare you enter through the Gates of the Afterlife? Beware the Evil Eye of Horus, which has its eye on you!
Families across the land must not miss out on this awful chance to travel back in time. Treat your whole family to a great show – both funny and historically informative and discover all the really 'yucky' bits of history that teachers and serious books never tell you!
To be enjoyed by everyone from 5 to 105, and don't forget your mummy!
