We present the screenplay of a physics show on particle physics, by thePhysikshow of Bonn University. The show is addressed at non-physicists aged 14+and communicates basic concepts of elementary particle physics including thediscovery of the Higgs boson in an entertaining fashion. It is alsodemonstrates a successful outreach activity heavily relying on the universityphysics students. This paper is addressed at anybody interested in particlephysics and/or show physics. This paper is also addressed at fellow physicistsworking in outreach, maybe the experiments and our choice of simpleexplanations will be helpful. Furthermore, we are very interested in relatedactivities elsewhere, in particular also demonstration experiments relevant toparticle physics, as often little of this work is published.  Our show involves 28 live demonstration experiments. These are presented inan extensive appendix, including photos and technical details. The show is setup as a quest, where 2 students from Bonn with the aid of a caretaker travelback in time to understand the fundamental nature of matter. They visitRutherford and Geiger in Manchester around 1911, who recount their famousexperiment on the nucleus and show how particle detectors work. They travelforward in time to meet Lawrence at Berkeley around 1950, teaching them aboutthe how and why of accelerators. Next, they visit Wu at DESY, Hamburg, around1980, who explains the strong force. They end up in the LHC tunnel at CERN,Geneva, Switzerland in 2012. Two experimentalists tell them about colliders andour heroes watch live as the Higgs boson is produced and decays. The show waspresented in English at Oxford University and University College London, aswell as Padua University and ICTP Trieste. It was 1st performed in German atthe Deutsche Museum, Bonn (5/'14). The show has eleven speaking parts andinvolves in total 20 people.
