Family science show with liquid nitrogen clouds, exploding balloons and fire tornadoes, brought from London's West End to the Regent Theatre.
Ministry of Science bring their show Science Saved The World to the Regent Theatre on Tuesday 16 February 2027, arriving in Stoke-on-Trent straight from London's West End. They're billed as the UK's favourite science team, and the show is a family affair, recommended for ages six and over.
It's a science communication show that takes an anarchic approach, celebrating the scientists, engineers and inventors who've shaped the modern world with a fair few loud bangs along the way. The format favours spectacle over lecture: twenty-foot liquid nitrogen clouds, exploding oxygen and hydrogen balloons, fire tornadoes, hydrogen bottle rockets, ignited methane and a self-built hovercraft. The team describes it as 100% educational, 200% entertaining, 300% explosive and 400% fun, and puts forward the idea that every member of the audience has the capacity to contribute to changing the world for the better.
