My Brother’s Genius
Daisy and Luke are twins navigating life in a high-rise estate, where ambition and self-doubt collide. Both twins have labels thrust upon them: Daisy the “idiot” and Luke the “genius”. But will their bond and shared dream of flying launch them up together or crash them apart?
Based on conversations with young people across the UK and written by Debris Stevenson (Poet in da Corner, Royal Court), My Brother’s a Genius combines poetry, music and movement in a humorous exploration of neurodiversity, sibling rivalry, and the weight of expectations.
A Theatre Centre, Sheffield Theatres and National Youth Theatre co-production.
My Brother’s a Genius is an original play written by Debris Stevenson, developed through conversations with young people across the nation as part of Theatre Centre’s acclaimed Future Makers process.
The development of My Brother’s a Genius has been supported by Creative Crawley and Stanley Arts London.
