Small Infinities 
Drama
Description:
Small Infinities explores the life and paradox of Sir Isaac Newton. Newton is the father of modern science, yet he was also an alchemist and believed he had unearthed textual revelations in the scriptures - a genius with a medieval mind in the beginning of the modern age. The play traces his obsession with finding the unity of God’s design through science, alchemy, the Bible - and the human relationships he destroys in his quest. In the end he believes he has become the assassin of God and a failure.
