Ministry of Science – Live!

Thu 14 May | 7pm | Main House

From liquid nitrogen frozen flowers to hydrogen bottle rockets fired right at you, the show will take you on a journey using demonstrations and a few loud bangs to lead the way.

Romantic comedy, epic fairytale, fiery philosophical debate - Man and Superman stars Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List) as rich bachelor Jack Tanner, whose absconsion from the threat of married life triggers a whirlwind series of events, including an extraordinary dream-debate of Heaven versus Hell, and asks fundamental questions about how we live.

Is a flood really coming? Will the ark ever be ready? Will anyone else believe?

Hop

Mr Dedalus and his son Icarus are trapped on an island. They long for home, but there’s no way to get off. Luckily Mr Dedalus is a clever inventor, and he creates an ingenious plan to fly away, and hop high above the sea.

Make sure you arrive 15 minutes before the show time, when your journey will begin.

Perfectly suited for families, school groups and newcomers to theatre. Ages 4+
