Explosive science in 3D Bogglevision at a theatre near you!

HORRIBLE SCIENCE – science with all the squishy, disgusting & explosive bits left in – comes to the Grand Opera House York for the first time next month!

Using actors and some amazing 3D Bogglevision special effects, Birmingham Stage Company’s new incredibly squishy Horrible Science show, adapted for the stage by Mark Williams, attempts to find the awful answers to such important questions as: why do we produce 50,000 litres of spit in a lifetime – enough to fill 100 baths? Can you fight deadly diseases and beastly bacteria just using orange juice? Can you survive the Bathroom of Doom and the Toothbrush of Terror - when in just a few hours one bacterium can produce 100 million copies of itself to infect your towel, flannel, toothbrush and even your hands! The audience will join Billy Miller, a recalcitrant 10-year-old, as he battles his way through the Horrible Science World, facing dreadful dangers and putrid puns! They’ll encounter fatal forces such as gravity and magnetism; discover the shocking truth about electricity, how bacteria and microbe monsters inflict their killer diseases and how the different parts of the body fit together. Horrible Science is directed by Phil Clark with designs by Jacqueline Trousdale and a cast including: Laura Dalgleish, Benedict Martin and Gareth Warren. Horrible Science is suitable for all the family aged 6+ and covers much of the science curriculum that Key Stage 2 children have to learn but deals with these topics in such unusual and hilariously disgusting ways as to seem a million miles from the classroom! Both those who already enjoy the subject and also the confirmed science haters will all find Horrible Science is unlike any theatre production they have ever seen before – a hugely fun way to learn important new things! This astounding show will thrill you and your children – you’ll be laughing & groaning, gasping at the special effects that seem to send giant bacteria and disgusting blobby things straight at your head, while all the time you’ll be painlessly learning many more scientific facts than you knew before! So book your tickets today for a truly HORRIBLE experience!
