Ongoing Projects

History Days

Histrionics create enthralling and immersive experiences for an entire school, Key Stage or Year Group. Using high-energy set pieces, humour and facts we can deliver workshops on the entire history curriculum and beyond!

Assemblies

Our trademark shows where pupil participation is encouraged. Individual volunteers or the entire audience join our actors on their journey into the past. Ideal for topic launches and special events like World Book Day

Education Programmes

We are enthusiastic about museum education. As such we are regularly asked to create and perform in compelling, dramatic narratives that support amazing collections and engage students and visitors.

Themed Events

Clean Air Days, British Values and Park Trips get the Histrionics makeover as we create considered set-pieces to support an enormous variety of extra-curricular activities. Get in touch to see what we can do for you!
