The Insect Play What I Wrote archiveYou will no doubt be familiar with the menagerie of natural history programmes that grace our television screens. Who could forget the 'Blue Planet' series and David Attenborough's populist message that we can learn much about our own world from the depths of the deep blue seas? But who could learn anything worthwhile about something called bumphead parrotfish? In truth insects are far more interesting creatures. As well as boasting three times as many species as the animal world, some insects haven't changed a bit in the last 200 million years. Following a cruel rejection by the BBC, I have turned to the far superior medium of theatre to spread this message, with a little help from Czech playwrights, the Capek brothers. With music and movement and several myrmica ruginodis (or, as you might say 'ants'), I will crack open the cocoons to reveal a complex world that really isn't too different from our own. Don't but off, but do join me for a spectacular evening of entomology, education and, above all, entertainment. Your six-leddedly Professor Prasteny
