Can you help us make the world a better place? Daniel Bye and Toni-Dee Paul are hosting an interactive science demo with a twist – and they need you to take on some big challenges!

 

How can we make things more fair? And what could go wrong if we don’t?

 

Help Dan and Toni change the world, in an unexpectedly ridiculous adventure involving engineering challenges, bad dad jokes, and an extraordinary quantity of molten chocolate.

More info about the show

SO UNFAIR will be a 55 minute whirlwind of a show, riffing on classic formats including interactive science demos and gameshows, combined with simple storytelling in Dan’s trademark style, supported by animated video design created by Matt. The audience will be the heroes of the adventure, helping our hapless hero save the day by understanding what’s truly important and what’s truly fair, as well as grappling with simple engineering challenges hands-on.

Each performance will be genuinely different. Each audience decision in response to the stories’ moral dilemmas will take us on a different adventure. Built into the show are a series of engineering tasks – the show’s success depends on the young audience rising to these challenges. It gives children aged 7-10 & their grown-ups embodied, memorable experiences of creative invention.
