A Royal Shakespeare Company event, in partnership with the Royal Society.

Why does the story of a scientist, or topic of science itself, make for a compelling theatrical production?

Join us for an evening uncovering science-inspired theatre. Our panel will discuss why science stories continue to attract and intrigue writers and directors, and the claim that such plays oversimplify scientific theory in the pursuit of an accessible and dramatic narrative. Hear from Tom Morton-Smith, writer of the critically acclaimed RSC production Oppenheimer, Professor John D. Barrow FRS, a cosmologist and playwright, Dr Kirsten Shepherd-Barr, a scholar of science in the theatre, and Professor Marcus du Sautoy OBE, broadcaster, writer and science communicator.

Chaired by Erica Whyman OBE, Deputy Artistic Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
