081360/Z/06/Z: The Man who Discovered that Women Lay Eggs

Project description:The Man who Discovered that Women Lay Eggs tells the epic and comic story of the myths and science of our own creation. There are no storks or gooseberry bushes but a cast of midwives, grave robbers, priests, scientists and frogs in nappies in a tale of birth, sex and death that is guaranteed to intrigue. Using puppets, masks and live action, Full Beam Visual Theatre shows how man finally unravelled the myth of his own origins in 1827. The Man who Discovered that Women Lay Eggs is a bawdy, fantastical and eye-opening experience that proves that scientific fact is often much stranger than fiction.
