A bold, joyful new play about labels, neurodivergence, and finding your own way to fly
My Brother’s a Genius is an explosive new play by Debris Stevenson, presented by Sheffield Theatres, Theatre Centre, and the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.

Blending poetry, grime, music, and movement, this funny, heartfelt production explores ambition, self-belief, and the weight of expectations placed on young people — all through the powerful bond between siblings.
The story
Meet twins Daisy and Luke, growing up on a high-rise estate where dreams of escape collide with everyday reality. Each has a label thrust upon them: Daisy is branded the “*****”, while Luke is hailed as the “genius”.

As they navigate school, family, and their shared dream of flying, the question becomes clear: will their bond lift them up together, or pull them apart?

With humour, honesty, and warmth, My Brother’s a Genius examines neurodivergence, sibling rivalry, and how labels can shape — and limit — who we believe ourselves to be.
A relaxed and welcoming theatre experience
All performances of My Brother’s a Genius are presented in a relaxed environment, designed to make theatre accessible and comfortable for everyone:
Latecomers will be admitted as soon as possible
Audience members may leave and re-enter if needed

A sharp, hilarious and darkly satirical comedy by Steven Moffat comes to Sheffield Library Theatre with The Unfriend.

While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa — a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA. They agree to stay in touch. And why not? Because no one ever really does… do they? But when Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, curiosity turns to alarm, and a frantic online search reveals the unsettling truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski — far too late to stop what’s coming.
What to Expect
Written by the acclaimed writer behind Doctor Who and Sherlock, The Unfriend is a fast-paced and ferociously funny look at modern manners, online identity and the disastrous middle-class instinct to always be polite — no matter the cost.

Expect:
Razor-sharp dialogue and escalating comic tension
Big laughs with a deliciously dark edge
A satirical take on social media, friendship and fear of confrontation
A comedy that balances absurdity with biting social observation
Critically acclaimed for its wit and momentum, the play has been described as:
“Effortlessly entertaining” — The Telegraph
“An uproarious comedy and riotous pleasure” — The i
“A killer comedy to die for” — WhatsOnStage
A must-see for fans of intelligent comedy that isn’t afraid to bite back.
