Birmingham Rep in Centenary Square, Birmingham
A woman sits on a makeshift bed in a scruffy roofspace; she looks concerned. To her right, a bank of screens shows static and a figure in white stands in front of the screens. A woman sits in a futuristic looking taxi with a wing for the back door, she raises her hand to her head. The car is sitting in a narrow street lit by neon lights. A woman in a coat and rainhood stands by, looking upwards. A group of people in a variety of grey raincoats and jackets look away into the distance. A man moves forward, listening to something in his ear. They are standing in amongst metal structures which look like buildings. A woman in a black jacket stands on a narrow ledge and clings to a concrete wall; she looks frightened. There are metal ducts running along the wall. She holds a mobile phone in her hand. Two people stand back to back in the middle of a white circle on the floor, looking scared. Around them, people in grey clothes leap and reach.

Minority Report

This event has passed

In 2050, neuroscientist Dame Julia Anderton is about to launch the next phase of her pioneering Pre-Crime programme, monitoring people’s thoughts and detaining them before crimes are committed. But when Julia is accused of pre-murder, she’s in a race against time to save herself from her own system.

This electrifying adaptation of Phillip K. Dick’s iconic sci-fi thriller challenges our beliefs about justice and freewill in a real-time chase through London of the future.

Minority Report sees award-winning director Max Webster re-united with the producers of the globally successful stage version of Life of Pi.

This action packed theatrical experience will take you on an electrifying ride into the future, as it creates a world bordering science fiction and reality.
