WED 07 - SAT 10 APR 2027 ALBERT'S BOYA funny and achingly moving play shining light on one of history's most enduring figures... Albert Einstein is not feeling too good. His house is empty, his cat is missing, he can't remember where he put his violin and he is slowly driving himself insane as he struggles to solve the unanswerable question: Did I do the right thing? When a family friend, newly released from a Chinese POW camp, comes to visit, a warm reunion soon becomes an explosive collision of opposing beliefs on the subjects of evil, the winning of wars, and the construction of the world's first weapon of mass destruction, the atomic bomb. Albert's Boy is the second play written by James Graham who has become one of the nation's most celebrated playwrights and screenwriters (This House; Ink; Dear England; The Crown; Quiz; Sherwood) and in 2026 his play Punch won the Olivier Award for Best New Play. |
