Einstein!

Sew and Sew Productions—MTC Mainstage

This is a one-man historical exploration of Albert Einstein’s early career, and focuses on his long struggle to have his Theory of Relativity proven correct.

Jack Fry does a great job of bringing personality to the piece and keeping it interesting. His use of some video helps demonstrate some of Einstein’s theories, and by focusing on his life, makes sure it is not just a dry lecture.

I had seen the BBC/HBO movie Einstein and Eddington, which also covers some of this time period and some of the events featured in the play. This meant I was already familiar with a lot of it, but there were a number of new things in the play that had not really been mentioned in the movie.

All in all, a very enjoyable production.
