The Ethics of Progress is a mind-melting, jargon free, whistle-stop tour of leading edge Quantum Physics, delivered with warmth, wit and charm by Unlimited Theatre’s Artistic Director Jon Spooner.
By explaining in straightforward terms the concepts of Superposition, Quantum Entanglement and Teleportation, The Ethics of Progress pushes theoretical physics into real life situations and imagines the world as it might be in the not-too-distant future.
Linking in with our Arts and Science season, the show will be followed by an engaging post show discussion as Jon Spooner is joined by leading Physicists from the University of Surrey and visitor institutions to debate topics from the show.
A co-production with Oxford Playhouse and Leeds Met Studio.
Written by Jon Spooner, Chris Thorpe and Clare Duffy in consultation with
Professor Vlatko Vedral.
Suitable for age 10+
55 mins, plus 30 min post show event
