SECRET LIFE OF HUMANS by David Byrne
11 – 16 October 2021
In 1949, scientist and mathematician Dr Jacob Bronowski installs a hidden, locked room in his house. Fifty years later, his grandchild Jamie discovers the secrets contained in that room, unearthing echoes from across six million years of human history. Alongside research scientist Ava, Jamie uncovers revelations from the past, and as dawn approaches both are left wondering, do we really know where we came from? Is academic progress always a good thing? And are we moving forwards or stumbling backwards as a species? This engaging and thoughtful play looks at humanity's story afresh, and wonders if our greatest strength is really our shared imagination.
