My Brother’s a Genius
By Debris Stevenson
Poetry, music and movement unite in Debris Stevenson’s explosive new play about learning to fall, fail and find our own ways to fly.
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.

*What is Pay What You Decide?
Pay What You Decide puts the choice in your hands. It doesn’t matter what price ticket you buy, it won’t affect where your seat is or how good your view is. You get to decide how much you’d like to pay. We are doing this so that there is a price that suits everyone and doesn’t cause a barrier to attending the show. We are testing this way of pricing tickets and would love to hear what you think.
There is no judgement about how much you pay. If you can pay the highest price, please do. Your contribution helps make arts and culture accessible to all in Crawley. If you have any further questions, please email [email protected]
