Above are Giancarlo Facchinetti, Emma Purshouse, Nadia Kingsley and Professor Trevor Ponman – together they are the e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g team and whisked 3 full-domes (instead of full-houses!) of people up into space, at the Birmingham Art and Science Festival 2015 on the 17th March.

We would like to thank the University of Birmingham – a fabulous programme of events that included Ruth Padel.

We would Like to thank LAURA COULT their programme director who was absolutely extraordinary in her organisational skills, calmness and enthusiasm.

Next – we will be at Wenlock Poetry Festival. THERE ARE TICKETS LEFT for the 1pm Saturday, 11:30 am Sunday and 5pm Sunday performances – but we are sold out at the 3pm Saturday performance and also at all three performances at Stratford Literary Festival on the 2nd May. We have no other events booked – so if you do want to experience e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g: The History of the Universe in 45 minutes – then don’t delay in booking your ticket and we look forward to seeing you ! (Though we will all be in the dark during the performance so I thought you might like to see what we look like when we are on Earth !)
