Theatre Centre

My Brother's a Genius is a story about learning to fall, fail and find our own ways to fly. To find out more, visit: theatre-centre.co.uk/shows/my-broth… Artwork by Rebecca Pitt

Daisy and Luke are twins navigating life in a high-rise estate, where ambition and self-doubt collide. Daisy is constantly labelled the “idiot”, while Luke is seen as the “genius”, but will their bond and shared dream of flying launch them up together or crash them apart?

We are so excited to announce our next production, the world premiere of My Brother's a Genius written by Debris Stevenson (Poet in da Corner, Royal Court). Combining poetry, grime and dance, this explosive new play will premiere at Sheffield Theatres in Jan 2026.
