Horrible Histories was lots of different stories. There was a lady and a man on stage. They had lots of costumes that they wore and changed in front of you. I liked the man best. He was very funny when he threw the baby away. 

My favourite story was about the King and the Queen. The King was very fussy and wanted a baby boy not a baby girl. He killed his wife which was funny. The funniest bit was when the lady thought she was going to sneeze and went 'ah ah ah..' but then she didn't sneeze. Then she went 'choo' all over the baby. I didn't like the bit with the blood stuff on the sheets.

I liked the show but think older children would like it a lot. It was quite loud and they talked very quickly.
