We specialise in bringing science to life through the medium of live performance.
We have a few theatrical projects on the go at the moment and will post more details of them here soon. These are exciting times for us.
We are currently trying to put together a tour schedule for our science-history-panto “Dr Death and the Medi-Evil Medicine Show” at the moment. If you want us to come to your venue, please get in touch.

A historically, scientifically accurate panto for children and other childish people.
Sneezes, wheezes, sickness and diseases are never welcome. But in the past, some of the treatments could be worse than the underlying illness. Join the time-travelling ‘Doctor Death’, Simon Watt, to see if he can ‘cure’ you.
Warning: This show promises blood, guts, gore and a lot more!
Topics – History of medicine, hygiene, anatomy, disease.
Duration – 1 hour.
Audience – Families and schools. Features animation, puppetry and audience participation.

Various audience members
In this exceedingly clever kids show, Dr. Death and his power point puppets unroll the whole, bloodied tapestry of medicine’s distinctly dodgy history. Lots of disgusting facts involving poo, pee, pus, plague, maggots and other grand lumps of filth.

Frightening but fun, the show is based on silliness and encourages the audience to get involved. Puppetry and animation help bring the tales to life, while costumes and props donated by museums give the show an authenticity.
London Theatre Guide
Entertaining, disgusting and educational in equal measures, Dr Death and the Medi-Evil Medicine Show is perfect for fans of ”Horrible Histories”and it would be a shame to miss it.”
The Camden Voyeur
The animated scientists of antiquity and scenes of educational splatter on the projection screen are reminiscent of Monty Python, making would could have been a dangerously educational lecture into a laugh-filled romp through other people’s misery over the ages.”

The children absolutely loved the show – their attention was held throughout and they all wanted to get involved
