Science in the Spotlight, the special theatre-meets-science strand of the Festival returns with another world premiere, Melody and Sam: Record Breakers, a hilarious and tender story of determination, friendship and record-breaking success.

Directed by Caitlin Skinner and developed with support from Creative Scotland through the Scottish Government’s Festivals Expo Fund and presented at The Pleasance, the show is aimed at children 5 – 8 years old.

Sam and Melody want to break a world record. They train every day. They want to be the best, the fastest, the strongest, the largest, the longest – anything so long as they get their names in the big record book. Their official record attempt is just around the corner, when a message brings news that will possibly break up the team forever and take them on a journey across the seas, through the waves and into the deep.

The show opens today at the Pleasance!

Ages 5+

Date: Thursday 11 – Saturday 13 April

Time: 11am and 1.30pm | 1 hour

Venue: Quaker Studio, Pleasance

Pricing: £6 or £5 each for three or more tickets
