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.
