The Play Ground
by Albert
We were listening to Michigan Public Radio this morning and they reported on a British play that will make its U.S debut in Ann Arbor tonight. Hmmm, we wanted to hear more. The play is called "A Disappearing Number" and it won The Olivier Awards, the British equivalent of the Tony Award for Best Play last year. It takes place near the beginning of WWI as an English mathematician receives a letter filled with mathematical theorems from a young Indian visionary whose idiosyncratic and creative approach to mathematics ultimately led to some of the most complex and beautiful mathematical patterns of all time. Intrigued we were and we called UMS for tickets. Apparently, we weren't the only ones--seats were hard to come by. Listen to the MPR report and decide for yourself-it will be at the Power Center through Sunday.
