Genes on stage

Science meets art in The Gift, a moving new play by award-winning Nicola Baldwin. For an audience of GCSE science students, it traces the path of a recessive disorder – Friedrich’s ataxia – across three generations. Science, ethics and drama – they’re all there. Y Touring’s current 11-week tour visits all corners of Britain. And Wellcome Centre for Medical Science’s sponsorship means that The Gift is a gift to schools. Y Touring: 0171 272 5755.
