Description

Join James as they explore some interesting stories, some tricks and some other things they will come up with on the spot. Expect to learn something, to laugh and to find joy in the mundane. The story? We will find that as we go along. Maybe we will talk about Galois, the boy who yearned, or Newton the recluse, or even the real reason why teachers are careful with homework!

To preface this review I should say that I hate maths, I really hate maths. But I took a chance on this show and was extremely glad that I did. The way James spoke on mathematical history not only kept me engaged throughout but also entertained me with many, well executed comedic moments including audience interaction. Projection, sound and lighting were used effectively in the creation of the piece and I went away pleasantly surprised and with a hunger to learn more about maths.

Great show, I had an amazing time, everyone should see it just cos(). I can’t believe it contained maths, and, to go on a tangent(), hopefully next time it’ll be at a more reasonable time than a actual maths lecture
