The teenage brain has 86 billion neurons connecting and colliding to produce a life stage that is chaotic, exhilarating and, at times, frustrating.

Brainstorm is a theatrical tornado exploring how adolescent brains work, and why they’re designed by evolution to be the way they are. 

Co-created and performed by Leeds Playhouse Youth Theatre members, and directed by Youth Theatre Director Eleanor Manners, this mind-boggling show is devised from an original collaboration between Company Three, Ned Glasier, Emily Lim and neuroscientists Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and Dr Kate Mills. 

Designed to be performed by teenagers, Brainstorm draws directly on their own personal experiences. The end result is a tumultuous exploration of what it means to be a teenager today on the brink of adulthood. It will leave your neurons fizzing. Creative Audio Description and Captioning will be available at all performances.

By arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
