ALBERT EINSTEIN: RELATIVITIVELY SPEAKING

by John Hinton

 The year is 1933 and Albert is giving his inaugural lecture on Special and General Relativity at Princeton University. But it's tough when your two wives and mother keep coming in, your equations are being used to make atomic bombs and there’s the small (rather large) matter of the Universe to explain. 

Then again, Albert IS the cleverest man on the planet as well as the proud owner of the über-coolest moustache in science so buckle in for a musical comedy lecture like no other, featuring his two wives and mum on the piano, guest star rapper MC Squared, peer-reviewed explanations of his landmark scientific theories and the wurst sausage joke ever...

 

Directed by Daniel Goldman

Performed by John Hinton and Jo Eagle

Reviews

Here’s a treasure… handled with something close to brilliance… for respect, theatricality, wit and decency, this one’s a winner. 

★★★★★ Libby Purves, The Times

Hinton expertly makes the most complicated of concepts easily intelligible… Delightful.

★★★★★ British Theatre Guide

A masterclass. Genius, Mr Hinton, Einstein would be proud.

The Sunday Times

It’s Atomic! Tickets may go at the speed of light.

★★★★ Broadway Baby

​

The clearest – and certainly the funniest – explanation of the Theory of Relativity I know.

John Lloyd (creator of QI)

​

It’s funny, but also mind-expanding – and there aren’t many shows that achieve both so well.

★★★★ The Big Issue

​

Gloriously scatty… a winning formula.

The Stage

A winning combination – fantastic performances, writing and concept.
