'Hnath’s Newton is brilliant, driven, bratty, needy, abrasive, insensitive, at once utterly confident and utterly insecure, relentless and ruthless in his pursuit of fame. He is, in short, a very recognizable and surprisingly contemporary figure...'
Top-flight ensemble acting drives Redtwist Theatre’s production of this brainy, fanciful comedy by Lucas Hnath, author of. Loosely inspired by historical fact, the play is a fictional account of the events leading up to the time Sir Isaac Newton poked a needle into his eye.
OK, it wasn’t quite as bad as that may sound. The object that Newton used was a bodkin—a long, blunt sewing needle—and he didn’t actually stick ithis eye, but rather behind the eyeball, through the tear duct. He did it to prove a point—pun intended, sorry. As an aspiring scientist in mid-17th-century England, Newton was studying the nature of light and how we perceive it—and decided to experiment on himself.
