Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us. Brainstorm is a unique theatrical investigation into how teenagers brains work, and why they re designed by evolution to be the way they are.

Created by Ned Glasier and Emily Lim with Company Three (formerly Islington Community Theatre), in collaboration with neuroscientists Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and Dr Kate Mills, the play is designed to be created and performed by a company of teenagers, drawing directly on their personal experiences.

This edition contains a series of exercises, resources and activities to help schools, youth-theatre groups and young companies create and perform their own Brainstorm. It also features the complete script of the original production which played at Park Theatre and the National Theatre, London, in 2015.

We also offer a script template to be used in conjunction with the blueprint. Use the blueprint to generate personal content with your cast to be inserted into this template. This will give you a tailor-made version of the script to rehearse. The script template is available at a cost of 45.

It is a condition of your licence that copies of the script must be purchased for each member of the cast, crew and creative team involved in the production. Therefore you must purchase either a full cast set of the published paperback, or the script template and at least one copy of the published paperback (as you must refer to the blueprint to use the script template).
