The Birmingham Stage Company, producers of six hugely popular Horrible Histories shows, are bringing their exciting stage version of Nick Arnold’s Horrible Science books to the New Theatre, Cardiff from Tuesday 19 – Saturday 23 November. Using actors and amazing 3D Bogglevision special effects, Horrible Science, adapted for the stage by Mark Williams, attempts 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 an egg? 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! Young theatregoers and their families can enjoy some squishy adventures with reluctant school boy hero, Billy Miller. With their help he has to battle his way through many different science areas of ‘The Horrible Science Adventure World’ when the all powerful computer, TIM takes it over. To stop TIM destroying the whole world the audience must work together with Billy and face both dreadful dangers and putrid puns - encountering fatal forces such as gravity, electricity and magnetism. They’ll learn how to defeat some menacing 6ft high bacteria and other microbe monsters! Horrible Science is best suited for children aged 6 and above and covers much of the science curriculum that Key Stage 2 children have to learn, dealing with these topics in such unusual and hilariously disgusting ways…a million miles from the classroom! These books have sold over 15 million copies in 27 different languages world-wide and won such important scientific & literary awards as the Rhone-Poulenc Prize in 1997, the Aventis Prize in 2004, ZSL Thomson Reuters Record Award for Communicating Science in 2010 and this year the Blue Peter Best Book with Facts Award. Horrible Science is at the New Theatre on Tuesday 19 – Saturday 23 November. Tickets are on sale now with prices from £9.00 to £18.50 and the suggested age is 6+.
