A loud, vibrant and unashamed examination of what it’s like to be a teenager, exploring those years that change us the most. Drawing upon the life experiences of the cast, interwoven with cognitive neuroscientist Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore’s research, we combine scientific analysis with funny, brave, and honest accounts.
Devised by an all-female cast from Croydon High with director Maddy Corner. This new play punctuates science with art and feeling. The Ivy Players return to Edinburgh Fringe after their previous 4-star show She. Brainstorm is an acclaimed production that again puts young people and their stories center-stage.
“My brain isn’t bursting. It’s like this for a reason. I’m like this for a reason. I’m becoming who I am.”
