'Sex, the attraction that Newton left out.’
Brilliant minds, burning hearts and the unstoppable pull between chaos and order.
In a country house, two centuries apart, genius unfolds. A teenage prodigy discovers the mathematics of the universe, as the adults around her fail to hide their passions under reason. In the present day, scholars chase the ghosts of that same household — seeking truth, proof and perhaps each other.
Witty, moving and flirtatious, Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece is brought thrillingly to life by acclaimed director Carrie Cracknell.
