Emperor Hadrian: The Wall at the End of the World is a lively, humorous children's play from the Creating History Series, bringing the Romans in Britain to life through drama, comedy, and classroom-friendly storytelling.

The Romans have been stationed in cold, rainy Britannia for far too long. Fed up with the weather, tired of the endless attacks from the Picts, and longing for home, the soldiers are desperate for help. When a message is sent to Rome, Emperor Hadrian responds with an unexpected solution: "Build a wall."

What follows is a funny and energetic tale of reluctant soldiers, mischievous Picts, and one very determined Emperor. As the Romans struggle to construct Hadrian's Wall—forts, watchtowers and all—the Picts watch, laugh, tease, and taunt… until the wall is finished and everything changes.

Packed with jokes, simple staging, flexible roles, and opportunities for creative performance, this play is perfect for assemblies, literacy lessons, history projects, and classroom drama. Children can act, mime, create tableaux, or adapt the script to suit their group.

A fun, accessible introduction to Roman Britain, Hadrian's Wall, and life on the northern frontier — ideal for young performers and budding historians.
