PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD is a 60-minute experimental devised theatre show at Red Lecture Theatre by professional company IN BED WITH MY BROTHER — their first fringe show in six years.

It carries extensive content warnings including nudity, scenes of sexual violence, strobe lighting and strong language. For ages 18 and over, tickets from £10.
Why see this show?
Anarchic, unclassifiable and proudly unhinged, this is theatre that refuses to behave. If you're drawn to experimental work that doesn't know what it is and leans into it, this is your night.
