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.
Y Touring Theatre Company is awarded ‘Best STEM Institution Event’!
Y Touring Theatre Company at the National Science & Engineering Week 2012
“I would recommend Dayglo because it is a truly original way of bringing cutting edge science into schools. Our Yr 11 were really engaged with the event, some were tweeting about it that very same evening.”

We applied for our live performances of Dayglo at the Royal Albert Hall and screenings at Picturehouse Cinemas, during National Science and Engineering Week 2012 to be judged alongside hundreds of other activities also taking place across the UK. Despite the comprehensive nomination criteria, rigorous judging process (including members of the judging panel attending each event) and tough competition from other established institutions, such as Universities and Hospitals, we were appointed the overall winner by the British Science Association.
