Horrible Science (stage show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horrible Science is a 2010 stage show and is a spinoff of the Horrible Science book series.[1] It is one of the "Live on Stage" theatre shows produced by the Birmingham Stage Company. The show is written by Nick Arnold and is recommended for ages 6–14.[2] It ran at Town Hall, Birmingham.[3] Its running time is 1 hour 46 minutes, including interval.[4] The show is directed by Phil Clark, and designed by Jacqueline Trousdale. Its original cast included Benedict Martin and Laura Dalgleish.[5]
BSC actor and manager Neal Foster said: "Science was not my best subject at school! So we're determined to make this show the solution for all those children who felt like I did – and to inspire the lucky ones who are already intrigued".[5]
Nick Arnold said "First of all the stage show is about entertainment, on top of that it uses better 3D than you see in the cinema, and finally it is education". He added that "What is really clever about the production is that it is actually a story on a very fundamental level. It was written by people who really understand how a play works and they made sure the script wasn't too technical so it wouldn't go out of date and doesn't need constant updates."[6]
