My Brother's A Genius Tour

Poetry, grime and dance 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?

In a co-production with Sheffield Theatre and Theatre Centre, My Brother’s a Genius will hit stages and schools in 2026 in a new full touring production.

The show will be developed with young people across 2025, through Theatre Centre’s Future Makers process, in collaboration with NYT.

Originally commissioned by National Youth Theatre and shared with audiences at work-in-progress performances starring NYT members at our new writing festival StoryFest and at Stanley Arts in 2024, the show will open in Sheffield in January and Scarborough in March 2026.
