Come and join us for some irreverent pre-crimbo mayhem in our circus. Seating numbers are limited as theatre-in-the-round so book early and avoid disappointment

Butcher

Welcome to the circus. A comedic and surreal exploration of genetic determinism with singing, an original score and live band.

Is there such a thing as a cancer gene and what exactly are the implications for women choosing to have healthy breasts and other organs surgically removed?

Is biomedical science (from genetics to pharmaceuticals to surgery) greedy, fatalistic and, ultimately, nihilistic?

How does optimism, faith and fear impact on our thoughts and choices, and how does it influence the health of our genes and impact on all us?
