The Atkinson has taken the decision to reschedule four upcoming performances of Horrible Histories : Terrible Tudors, which were due to take place on Friday and Saturday (16 & 17 September) of this week.
The rescheduled production dates are as follows:
Tuesday 4 October 2022 – 1:30pm & 6:30pm
Wednesday 5 October 2022 – 4:30pm & 7pm
The productions are light-hearted parodies of British history, intended for family audiences. Nevertheless, there is concern that their playful tone might be perceived to be disrespectful at this time of national mourning. As a civic building hosting the Council’s official Book of Condolence, it was felt that it would be inappropriate for the Atkinson to proceed with the performances, whilst also welcoming residents to make their tributes and express their sorrow at the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.
All ticket holders have been transferred to the new performance dates and will be contacted immediately.
Please contact the Box Office if you are unable to attend the new performance date or would prefer to attend an alternative performance. Our phone lines are extremely busy so you may prefer to email us on info@theatkinson.co.uk and leave your contact details so we can get back to you as soon as possible.
You are entitled to a ticket refund, exchange, credit note, or can donate the cost to The Atkinson Development Trust. Booking fees are an administrative cost and are non-refundable.
We understand this will be a disappointment to many ticket holders, but hope they will appreciate the reasons for reaching this decision.
We apologise for the short notice and thank you for your patience and understanding.
