Debuting to rave reviews as part of the 2019 Adelaide Fringe, The Alphabet of Awesome Science uses BIG words to inspire BIG science – with a performance that’s equal parts explosive, messy, spectacular, hilarious, fascinating and gross.
Professor Lexi Con has curated a collection of her absolutely favourite words – one for every letter of the alphabet. Each word provides Professor Noel Edge with an inspirational jumping off point for 26 quirky, (sometimes ‘explody’!) scientific demonstrations.
And if things weren’t exciting enough, every show is different, with audiences determining the order in which the letters are revealed and explored. Plus, did we mention, this is a race? The dynamic duo has just 52 minutes to complete their alphabetical, scientifical countdown. That’s just 2 minutes per experiment!
Will they make it in time...?
Age Recommendation: Ages 5 - 12
Show duration: 60 mins, no interval
Retail Café - Open 60 minutes prior to show and at interval (if applicable), the Retail Café offers patrons drinks and delicious food options.
