RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews.

This week Vidar was reviewing an action packed theatrical experience with David Haig’s stage adaptation of that iconic sci-fi thriller, Minority Report at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

About Minority Report:

In 2050, neuroscientist Dame Julia Anderton is about to launch the next phase of her pioneering Pre-Crime programme, monitoring people’s thoughts and detaining them before crimes are committed. But when Julia is accused of pre-murder, she’s in a race against time to save herself from her own system.

David Haig’s electrifying adaptation of Phillip K. Dick’s iconic sci-fi thriller challenges our beliefs about justice and freewill in a real-time chase through London of the future.

Minority Report sees award-winning director Max Webster re-united with the producers of the globally successful stage version of Life of Pi.

This action packed theatrical experience will take you on an electrifying ride into the future, as it creates a world bordering science fiction and reality.
