Smart, bold, edgy-- Sarah Lawrence's take on Albert Einstein is an amazing example of how to make in-depth research work as brilliant theater. Lawrence's creativity applies a magically realistic imagining of the icon's final days that not only celebrate his achievements but also uncover many of Einstein's heartfelt regrets...professional and personal. Lawrence accomplishes this through the catalytic presence of Einstein's very real parrot, Bibo. A wonderful play!

Bibo and Bertie is an extraordinarily nuanced look at one of the most well known figures of the 20th Century. Sarah Lawrence does an amazing job of not only examining the outer social complexities of such an enigmatic man, but also the inner workings of a father struggling to find common footing with his son. The play also dabbles in the physics of surrealism in a way that only theatre -- and Einstein -- could do. Highly recommend!
