Prepare for uproarious pandemonium in a uniquely hilarious family theatre adventure for all ages!

Two loopy Professor Doctors invent three brand-new myths live by unleashing cardboard chaos and your boundless imagination!

Will your adventure unfold in Ancient Egypt, Viking fjords, or Neptune’s deep? You choose! Shape the story, suggest the world and even become the hero (optional, shy souls welcome!).

From the award-winning champions of children’s theatre, Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys, comes an hour of high-octane family fun: expect clowning, improv, music, and epic cardboard props.

Forge your legend – you’d be mad to myth it!

Presented by Rubbish Shakespeare Company & Silly History Boys
