With 21 published nonfiction books, you’ll likely have come across Bill Bryson’s work. One of his most famous books, ‘A Short History of Nearly Everything’, has been given a major rewrite. He takes to the stage at The Opera House to talk about his new findings.
In ‘A Short History of Nearly Everything 2.0’, Bill updates the book with the latest scientific research on the Earth and the universe. In the live show, you’ll hear about planetology, astronomy, particle physics, the Big Bang, quantum mechanics, and evolution. Throughout his career, the journalist and author has covered a wide range of subjects, including travel, the English language, and the human body. This rare chance to see him live promises forays into many of these areas. All conducted with his usual theatrical flair.
Bill Bryson has a quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation and what humans are today. Join him as he shares the latest major advances in science.
