Ada, Asmin & The Analytical Engine

Asmin, a newly-arrived Turkish refugee, is struggling with remote learning, when a magical cat (and the wonders of cyberspace) lead her to Victorian-era mathematician Ada Lovelace. Together, connected across time, they find commonality in numbers and philosophy, and inspiration to follow their dreams.

In this imagined place, shaped by real events, we explore how far we have come in education rights for girls, how far we have to go, and the world-altering shifts that occur when we empower young women to reach their full potential.

Made in collaboration with math teacher and Turkish refugee Bilge Aslan, the story combines the real-life experiences of girls worldwide who have been denied an education, with the story of Ada Lovelace and her world-altering inventions. It’s an inspiring new adventure told through the beautiful magical realism for which Lemony S Puppet Theatre are renowned.
