Monarchs Anonymous

The Rotunda Theatre: Bubble Regency Square, Brighton

Monarchs Anonymous. What happens when you force Henry VIII, Marie Antoinette, and history's most chaotic royals into group therapy? A hysterical historical mash-up where Kings clash, therapy endures, and laughter reigns supreme. The Monarchs are not amused. Marie is moping, Mansa Musa’s in a mood, and Tutankhamun has tottered off back to his mummy. Worse still, someone has leaked their secrets to the press! Can our long-suffering therapist, Dr. Thompson, stop the session from descending into chaos? Pull up a throne and come face-to-face with the biggest egos of the last 600 years. They are unfit to rule, unwilling to change, and quite frankly, a right royal pain in the past. Audiences are raving: “A riotous hoot! Like a history class with your favourite comedians!” “Hilarious, emotive, thought-provoking – a history lover's dream!” “Funny, original and plain bonkers!” Join us for a royal appointment you won’t forget. No time machine required! Note: the show will run for 90 mins without an interval
