The story
Many years ago, a King and Queen were blessed with a baby girl with magical golden hair — but their happiness was short-lived. The jealous and evil Mother Gothel kidnapped the child and locked her away in a tower, selfishly using her powers for herself.

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.
