//THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY
MUSIC & LYRICS BY NEIL BARTRAM
BOOK BY BRIAN HILL
The Theory of Relativity is new chamber musical (2015) by Drama Desk Award nominees Neil Bartram (composer and lyricist) and Brian Hill (book).
Through a seemingly unrelated collection of songs, scenes, and monologues, The Theory of Relativity introduces a compelling array of young adult characters experiencing the joys and heartbreaks, the liaisons and losses, the inevitability and the wonder of human connection. Working with the metaphor of Albert Einstein’s landmark theory “E=mc2” and also the principles that underpin Einstein’s belief that “only a life lived for others is worth living,” this fresh, contemporary musical is a joyous and moving journey that examines the wonders and complexities of our surprisingly interconnected lives.
