Win a  Family Ticket to See Horrible Science

The Birmingham Stage Company is one of the UK’s most successful theatre companies who have specialised in touring top quality stage adaptations of children’s classic books. This year they celebrate their 18th anniversary with  a brand new production of Horrible Science by Nick Arnold for the first time live on stage. Recent BSC sell-out successes include Jungle Book, Why the Whales Came, Danny the Champion of the World, Horrible Histories and Skellig. Horrible Science uses actors and amazing 3D Bogglevision special effects to find the awful answers to important questions such 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 eggs? 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 suitable for ages 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 for the whole family to learn lots of important new things – laughing and gasping while they do it!
