The Alphabet of Awesome Science

• Theatre

Australia

Join professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science freak) for a thrilling voyage through the alphabet — where sesquipedalian words inspire mind-blowing scientific surprises! It's a tongue-twisting race from A to Z that's equal parts explosive, messy, hilarious, fascinating and gross. Brace yourself for an hour of carefully crafted alphabetical, scientifical (award-winning!) chaos — that floats, flies, squirts, sprays, ignites and erupts!

★★★★★ "Sets the standard for educational family fringe entertainment. If I could give it six stars I would" The Advertiser

★★★★★ "Must see" Glam Adelaide

★★★★★ "A fast-paced, entertaining and eye-opening show that left the kids and I looking at each other in disbelief and clapping with joy after nearly every letter" See-Do-Eat-Review

Please note: This event has had a time change, and changed spaces from 'The Gosling' to 'The Flamingo' at Gluttony - Rymill Park since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.

Presented by: Six Foot Something Productions Pty Ltd

Six Foot Something Productions creates innovative “Science Theatre” for young people and their families — through a suite of programs called That Science Gang.

We facilitate collaborations between theatre creators and science communicators to produce compelling science-infused scenarios that better equip audiences to ask BIG questions about the world around them — so they can approach the future with knowledge and positivity.

We make science-infused experiences that encourage audiences to laugh as they learn.

That Science Gang is presenting two shows at the 2022 Adelaide Fringe Festival — a thrilling (and explosive!) race through the alphabet in “The Alphabet of Awesome Science” and a vaudeville-inspired musical comedy journey through the human digestive system in “You Are a Doughnut”.
