Hysterical History
by Anne Knight
Hysterical History is a collection of well-known events in history told in an unlikely, racy style, with wise-cracking
pace. From Adam and Eve to the present day - and beyond! This is history as you wouldnt
want it taught to your children! Nothing is sacred! The fifty-four episodes can be played by a company of actors of all ages
and mixed abilities, but who are masters of one-liners, the double entendre and quick costume change. The pieces
can be performed as mixn match episodes to suit the company concerned.
