The stage is set for children and adults alike to be given a fascinating insight into the brain and epilepsy, thanks to a brand new interactive theatre show.
The typically contrasting spheres of drama and science will come together for an exhilarating, hands-on performance at Exeter’s Northcott Theatre on Thursday, March 9th.
The show, entitled “Beyond My Control”, is the brainchild of the Northcott’s Artistic Director Paul Jepson and mathematicians Professor John Terry and Dr Wessel Woldman from the Living Systems Institute of the University of Exeter.
Hailed as the UK’s most popular and successful Choreographer/ Director, Matthew Bourne will bring his critically acclaimed Early Adventures to the Exeter Northcott in February.
Matthew Bourne returns to his roots with a programme of hit pieces that launched his career and saw the birth of the style, wit and sheer entertainment that have become hallmarks of the New Adventures company today. “Spitfire”, “Town and Country” and “The Infernal Gallop” were last seen on tour in 2012 and “Watch with Mother” has not been seen for nearly 25 years.
