A taste of Egyptian history is coming to Norwich next month.

The Horrible Histories are bringing their performance of Awful Egyptians to the Theatre Royal, on Theatre Street, after an extra show was added because of a huge demand for tickets.

The bonus performance, which includes props created by Great Yarmouth-based 3D Creations, is taking to the stage on Wednesday, March 30 at 7pm, and tickets and now on sale.

John Bultitude, of Norwich Theatre Royal, said: 'People just can't get enough of Horrible Histories in this area.

'The books and TV show are hugely popular and now the stage-show is a must-see too.'

Horrible Histories runs at Norwich Theatre Royal from March 28 to April 1 with performances of both The Awful Egyptians and The Ruthless Romans.
