THEATRE OF DEBATE
Y Touring Theatre Company uses a rich mix of live performance and digital technology to engage audiences in an informed debate around the outcomes of the latest scientific research. Our work explores themes and questions that will shape our futures and that we all need to have a say in. We do this in a format which brings the arts, science and technology together - Theatre of Debate®. On this site you can explore our current and future work and you will be able to tap into some of the resources that we have created to take the debate beyond live theatre.
