A Child of Science world premiere with Tom Felton, Meg Bellamy and Adelle Leonce – in rehearsals

Take a look inside the rehearsal room for A Child of Science, which is set to have its world premiere at Bristol Old Vic this summer.

Gareth Farr’s play, directed by Matthew Dunster, is based on the drive to create IVF and those instrumental in making it happen – from the scientists to the army of women battling to success. Since its introduction, IVF has supported the birth of over 12 million babies worldwide over the last 45 years.

Starring are Tom Felton (2:22 A Ghost Story), Jamie Glover (Waterloo Road, What’s In A Name?),  Meg Bellamy (The Crown), Adelle Leonce (Fool Me Once, Emilia) and Sonoya Mizuno (Devs, House of the Dragon). 

The cast is completed by Saikat Ahamed (Life of Pi), Gruffudd Glyn (Joseph K and the Cost of Living), Bobby Hirston (The Play That Goes Wrong), Amy Loughton (Animal), Bebe Sanders (Twelfth Night) and Everal A Walsh (Rockets and Blue Lights).
