Who is the God of dog poo bags? How did the microwave get its ping? What ancient crime was Marmite the punishment for… And why was it inflicted upon us? Senior academics of history, and rather silly men, Professor Doctor Lee Hithersay and Doctor Professor Robert Rhys Bond, forge three new myths from the unhinged minds of their audience - and a boatload of cardboard props! Will it be Egyptian? 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, physical comedy, live music and more. You’d be mad to myth it!

An award-winning, family-friendly theatre company, their work is both accessible and critically-acclaimed. Conceived as a street theatre company, Rubbish Shakes quickly sidled into creative education before being discovered by producer Alex Ferguson (Homotopia) and catapulted onto the national touring stage. The company operates on the mission of ‘Theatre for All’: that everyone should be able to access and enjoy theatre, regardless of age or background. With that in mind, they have introduced hundreds of thousands of young people to the riches of the Bard - along with their parents and families! A longtime EdFringe hit, their last tour of Romeo and Juliet saw them play notable venues such as Leicester Square Theatre, Leeds Playhouse and The Pleasance. They are also in development talks regarding adapting their work to television with a renowned production company. The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth is Rubbish Shakes’ first non-Shakespeare show! Silly History Boys A troupe of four history buffs with significant acting chops, The Silly History Boys have been touring their “histerical” productions to site specific heritage sites since founding in 2013. Specialising in silly voices, daft gags and surprisingly well researched shows about the past, SHB produce regular material for Leeds Royal Armouries, Alnwick Castle, Jorvik Viking Centre and more English Heritage locations than you can shake a spear at (literally, hundreds). Aside from their acclaimed live shows, the house-bound company launched a podcast version of their funniest adventures in 2020… and haven’t stopped since, releasing new episodes of The Silly History Boys Show fortnightly. The episodes are a mix of battles, belly laughs and the bemusing bits of history you might not know about. From the true tale of the Wars of the Roses, to legendary Viking Sagas, and the surprisingly exciting history of tea! The podcast is now enjoyed in more than 150 countries, has racked up over one hundred five star rated episodes, and has been accessed by over 30,000 listeners worldwide.
