In 1949, Dr. Jacob "Bruno" Bronowski installs a secret, alarmed room in his house. Fifty years later, his grandson and his blind date delve into Bruno's locked room for the first time, unearthing echoes from across six million years of human history.
Inspired by Yuval Harari's international bestseller, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and the work of the mathematician and intellectual behind hit television series, The Ascent of Man, Jacob Bronowski. Following sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in London, this award-winning show comes to America for the first time.
