Secret Life of Humans
Inspired by Yuval Harari’s international bestseller, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In 1949, Dr Jacob Bronowski installs a secret, alarmed room in his house.
Fifty years later his grandson discovers his secrets, unearthing echoes from across six million years of human history, told from the perspective of a century in which every year is a revolutionary year.
Following its sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival , London, Greenwich and New York five week runs, Secret Life of Humans, has been picked up by the English Theatre Frankfurt for its German premiere.
Written and directed by New Diorama’s Artistic & Executive Director David Byrne, and Richard Delaney, Secret Life of Humans will perform at English Theatre Frankfurt celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Inspired by Noah Yuval Harari’s International Bestseller SAPIENS: A brief history of humankind, the show is a co-production with Greenwich Theatre and is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, the Cockayne Foundation and PRS for Music Foundation.
