Theoretical Theatrical Brilliance
Albert Einstein: Relativitively Speaking
South Shields Customs House
Thursday 30th October
Musical comedy meets theoretical physics in the brand new show from the
acclaimed team behind The Origin of
Species...
Ever looked at E=MC2 and thought… what’s
that all about then? Ever been curious how they made the atomic bomb? Ever
wanted to meet the genius behind the über-coolest moustache in scientific
history? Well, your time has come! Multi-award-winning Tangram Theatre Company’s
Albert Einstein: Relativitively Speaking will be performing at Customs House on Thursday 30th October at 7.45pm and the Junior
Edition of the show will be performing earlier in the day at 2.30pm, as part of their full UK tour this
autumn, finally (theoretically) providing the definitive answers about the
greatest mind of the twentieth century.
Albert Einstein: Relativitively Speaking is
a brilliantly inventive hour of physical theatre, songs, science and the würst
sausage jokes ever – complete with this winter’s sure-fire hip-hop hit, the ‘E=MC2
rap’. The show sold out at Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year where it was shortlisted
for the Innovative New Musical Theatre Award and the Junior Edition won Best
Children's Event at the Brighton Fringe Festival in 2014. This follows on from the Edinburgh smash hit and Adelaide
Fringe Best Production and Best Performer nominated Darwin bio-comedy The Origin Of The Species... and Total
Theatre Award-nominated Crunch! by
the same team of writer-performer John Hinton and director Daniel Goldman (co-director
of Stage Solo Award winner and
Olivier nominee You’re Not Like The Other
Girls Chrissie).
Open to everyone from amateurs to astrophysicists old and young, Albert Einstein: Relativitively Speaking is a frantically fast-paced, wonderfully
warm-hearted celebration of the ideas, ideals and idiosyncrasies of the man
whose theories sparked a revolution in modern science. And as the Fringe’s only
show to be peer reviewed by a team of leading physicists at Sussex University,
it is vital viewing for anyone who wants to understand the modern world – as
well as utterly unmissable for anyone with a sense of humour and spirit of
adventure.

Lloyd (Creator of QI)

a treasure... handled with something close to brilliance... This one's a
winner.' Libby Purves (The Times)

expertly makes the most complicated of concepts easily intelligible.' British Theatre Guide
