It's Not Rocket Science

It's Not Rocket Science effortlessly conveys the journey and struggles of Eve, a female Aerospace Engineer all the way from childhood wonder to a career in the industry. The cast carries out this task impeccably, and impressively transitions from milestone to milestone, giving space (pun partially intended) for the story to be told in a light-hearted, driven and at times challenging way. The cast is only made up of Eve and two multi-roles to form those Eve interacts with, and it's incredibly rewarding to watch these tangential parts on Eve's journey shape her path. At a time when women are pursuing STEM subjects more than ever, stories like this need telling - a must watch!!

It's Not Rocket Science provides an in-depth and nuanced portrait of a woman's experience in the aerospace industry. The play uses real-life experiences told through the lens of its main character, Eve, played wonderfully by India Agravat, and manages to provide a powerful and thought-provoking message (One that made me challenge my own preconceptions) whilst being a pleasure to watch. The rest of the cast is made up of just two actors, who switch roles throughout the play. It was fascinating to see them give every character a unique spin, giving each of them life and showing their acting talent!
It's Not Rocket Science is an incredible show and I would recommend anyone see it!

The play managed to portray an entire life cycle and the struggles of, whilst also displaying a powerful feminist rhetoric, in just 50 minutes!

Such a well written and devised piece. Loved the use of real life audio clips of women in aerospace, talking about their experiences of sexism. The cast are wonderful. This needs to be toured round secondary schools everywhere- to encourage young women into STEM based subjects and also to educate young men about the appropriate treatment of and respect for their female colleagues. Loved it.

A great show. Really moving, the acting was brilliant and the message of the show was so empowering. A must-watch!

I am an academic and my Oxbridge college just invited me back to speak “as a pioneer”, one of the first group of women forty years ago. Thank you so very much for a show that allowed me to look back and laugh. It is easy - and funny - to show caricatures of the male dinosaurs but I particularly liked the more nuanced approach you took by including the men who are supportive, who do see the problem and want to be part of the solution.
