The Pantaloons
The Pantaloons at Winterbourne Medieval Barn, Bristol
About the show
Mud, blood and stiff upper-lips! Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company on a breathless race through the centuries in this delightfully inventive show that tells the entire story of Britain in under 2 hours.
Have you ever wanted to see the life of Henry VIII told as a romantic comedy or the tale of the Spanish Armada reimagined as a light operetta? Probably not. But that won’t stop The Pantaloons retelling great moments from the country’s past in a variety of surprising genres! Featuring live music, audience interaction and wild historical inaccuracy.
The performance starts at 7pm promptly in the Medieval Barn. Seating is unreserved. Please feel free to bring cushions and blankets if you wish, to help you feel more comfortable. Doors and bar will be open from 6.15pm.

Featuring - The Pantaloons
The Pantaloons are a young and dynamic theatre company comprising graduates of Kent University. They aim to recapture an aspect of drama which modern naturalistic theatre has lost: the riotous energy of the clown.
Tapping into this rich vein of anarchic humour can have a strangely moving and uplifting effect and it also reminds us that we are all simply participants in a game of make-believe.
Their productions are entertaining, accessible and intelligent productions of classical texts for audiences, whatever their level of familiarity with such works.
'Part alternative rock band, part thespian, part performance art, the result is wholly charming' (The Times).
