Frightful First World War, 30th June to 4th July
Using just four actors and amazing 3D Bogglevision, the Birmingham Stage Company are now undertaking their most ambitious task of bringing the First and Second World Wars alive to family audiences. Frightful First World War tells the story of 13-year-old Angelica Taylor who while struggling with her history homework gets sucked into her computer and stuck in the Horrible Histories website until she has travelled through the five years of the First World War. She's helped by Private Paul Taylor, a 16-year-old solider whom she meets in every year of the war. But, if Angelica doesn't complete a task, gets killed or fails to reach 1918 before the battery power runs out, she'll be stuck inside her laptop forever.

Woeful Second World War, 1st to 4th July
Using just four actors and amazing 3D Bogglevision, the Birmingham Stage Company are now undertaking their most ambitious task of bringing the First and Second World Wars alive to family audiences.
