What is that special something that makes one person attracted to another? How do drugs affect your brain? How can a rock guitar lie at the heart of Big Questions about the Universe?

Forget boring school lessons and nutty professors. If you want to learn about the science that really matters, don't miss the show Cabaret: Science of Sex, Drugs, and Rock‘n'Roll, at the Cambridge ADC Theatre on Sunday, 18 March at 7.45pm.

Prepare to be entertained as a trio of badly-behaved scientists - a chemist, a biologist and a physicist – takes on the roles of Doctors Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. With live music and hilarious sketches, the crazy doctors will provide non-stop entertainment as they drag you down the slippery slope of the rock star lifestyle to hilarious and bizarre discoveries.

Graeme Jones is Dr Sex: a chemist with a passion. He's mad about molecules, and he's here to prove that chemistry really is the language of love. In real life, Dr Jones was awarded a NESTA Dreamtime Fellowship in 2005 to develop his talents as a science entertainer. Leaving his lab at Keele University, he has become a real hit with shows such as Saturday Night Science, and Sex, Pasta and Molecules. He's even taken dance lessons to show people how to move like molecules and become the next John Travolta.

Harry Witchel is Dr Drugs: an expert on the body and its language. Based at Bristol University's Medical School, he regularly appears on radio and television, and has written for national papers on communication, assessment and education. He has appeared in programmes such as the BBC's Mind Games, and The Truth About Food. In 2006 he was part of the psychology team analyzing the housemates' body language on Channel 4's Big Brother's Big Brain.

Mark Lewney is Dr Rock: a physicist whose stage performances are described as ‘gob-smackingly amazing'. By day a patent examiner in the UK Patent Office, he was the winner of FameLab 2005 (the science world's equivalent of the X-Factor) with his performance on the physics of music. He has appeared on Radio 4's Material World as a guitar expert, on a British Council DVD called Beautiful Physics, and on CBBC's Xchange! as the ‘Rock Doctor' – a blend of Einstein and Jimi Hendrix. He has filmed a 3 Minute Wonder for Channel 4, and is also a regular contributor on BBC Radio Wales.

So if you want to learn about real sexual chemistry, stoned neuroscience and the physics of the rock guitar, and be part of an audience transformed into a dazzling lightshow of dancing molecules, don't miss this evening of wild and hilarious entertainment.
