Einstein's Dreams

Science & the Arts at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York presented the stage adaptation of Alan Lightman's internationally acclaimed book Einstein's Dreams, performed by Boston's Underground Railway Theater.

The play, an inventive and charming work, was the inaugural event in a collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Underground Railway Theater, conceived to develop new plays about science.

The performance was followed by an informal discussion with Alan J. Friedman, co-author of Einstein as Myth and Muse.
