This fast-paced, interactive 20-minute family storytelling performance by Lucy Lill and Alys Torrance hurtles through the many hats of one of Britain’s most surprising figures. Audience members are invited to step into Vanbrugh’s shoes as the chapters of his extraordinary story are revealed. 

From frantic early travels and time spent in prison, to theatrical triumphs, political intrigue, historic fall-outs, and the creation of some of Britain’s most iconic buildings, this is history told at speed and with mischief firmly intact. Expect comic chaos, physical storytelling and sharp wit in this playful exploration of how one man’s many talents collided to leave a lasting legacy. 

History has never been quite so busy, or so much fun. 

Perfect for families and curious minds of all ages.

There will be multiple performance of the play taking place through the day on the 30th May.
