SUMMARY:Prof Alice Roberts - From Cell to Civilisation
DESCRIPTION:Prof Alice Roberts – From Cell to Civilisation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Prof Alice Roberts – From Cell to Civilisation\n\n\n\nA new\, groundbreaking\, spectacular theatrical production live on stage. \n\n\n\nHumankind\, genetics\, and archaeology \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Prof Alice Roberts – From Cell to Civilisation\n\n\n\nA new\, groundbreaking\, spectacular theatrical production live on stage. \n\n\n\nWho are we? Where do we come from? What does it mean to be human? \n\n\n\nFor thousands of years\, such questions have been explored through philosophy and religion\, but the answers now seem to lie firmly within the grasp of an empirical approach to the world and our place within it.  \n\n\n\nBy peering deep into our past and dragging clues out into the light\, science can now provide us with some of the answers to the questions that people have always asked. \n\n\n\nFrom the first spark of life on Earth 3.8 billion years ago\, we track the evolution and connectivity of all living things. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we follow in the footsteps of our ancestors from Africa into Asia and around the Indian coastline\, to Australia\, north into Europe and Siberia\, and\, eventually\, to the last continents to be peopled: the Americas. We’ll meet some other human species along the way. \n\n\n\nWe’ll examine the sophistication of some of the earliest civilisations\, and we’ll discuss how we know what we know and why we think what we think\, what the science can tell us. This is the story of us\, from a single cell to civilisation. \n\n\n\nProf Alice Roberts said\, “I’m thrilled to be bringing a new stage show to the UK in November\, exploring the story of us\, from Cell to Civilisation. Blending archaeology\, evolutionary biology and genetics and using theatrical sound\, light and imagination to bring the science to life in a way that you’ve never seen before. \n\n\n\n“We’ll be tracing our origins back\, not just to the dawn of our own species\, but to the origin of life on this planet. That’s four billion years of evolution in one evening. I’m really excited about this\, I’ve taken this show to Australia\, to Canada\, and now it’s coming to the Uk in November. I can’t wait to share this story with you.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £43.64 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 29 November 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 45 minutes\, including an interval  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.
