On a reality television show, six remarkable - and remarkably young - geniuses are competing for the coveted Golden Brain trophy and the title "Britain's Brainiest Child." As the contestants battle it out round after round, the pressure mounts, the spotlight gets harsher, and each is faced with questions they were never expecting. Who will win and who will lose - and what exactly does winning mean anyway?

Georgia Christou's Bright. Young. Things. is part of Platform, an initiative from Tonic Theatre in partnership with Nick Hern Books. Aimed at achieving greater gender equality in theatre, Platform comprises big-cast plays with predominantly, or all, female casts, written specifically for performance by young actors.
