The cynical, skeptical daughter of a theoretical physicist and a composer, Sarah Jean’s clinical approach to love meets with little success. In this absorbing drama infused with science and classical music, three exceptional minds collide like charged particles in an accelerator.
Sarah Jean’s hugely talented yet severely dysfunctional family will learn that love and time itself are connected in unimaginable ways. Infinity is the highly-anticipated NAC debut of Ottawa-raised Hannah Moscovitch, one of Canada’s most exciting playwrights.
The writing is clever and the performances are profound. And, having a pre-schooler at the time I saw the show, Sarah Jean’s epic little girl tantrum made me cringe with delight!” – Jillian Keiley, Artistic Director, NAC English Theatre.
Winner of the 2015 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play, Infinity is a story about the seeming impossibility of love and the idea that what time offers us is more than we realize. It has been crafted with close input from world-renowned physicist Lee Smolin, and internationally-acclaimed composer Njo Kong Kie.
Featuring Paul Braunstein, Vivien Endicott-Douglas, Amy Rutherford, Andréa Tyniec.
Playwright Hannah Moscovitch is joined by Director Ross Manson; Composer/Music Director Njo Kong Kie; Choreographer Kate Alton; Set and Costume Designer Teresa Przybylski; Lighting Designer Rebecca Picherack; Assistant Director Michela Sisti; Stage Manager Isabelle Ly; Production Manager Peter Eaton and Consulting Physicist Lee Smolin.
