Treat yourself to a night out with Modern Problems in Science at the
Bloomsbury Theatre, London (Tel: 0171 388 8822 for box office). From 19 to 23
March, you can see Dick Costolo, Rich Fulcher and Phil Granchi unleash their
imaginations on scientific proofs. The three Chicago performers ask the
audience for a theory, and guarantee to prove it logically. Past performances
demonstrated that `John, Paul, George and Ringo are the basic units of the
genetic code” and that “Food eaten by the light of the refrigerator door
contains no calories”. Dust down your theory before you go.
