"For those of us who believe in physics, the separation between past, present and future is only an illusion, however tenacious." Albert Einstein

Einstein's Dreams is a unique performance piece which utilizes elements of musical theatre, acting and dance. A young and unknown Einstein toils away as a patent clerk while trying to work out what will later be known as his Theory of Relativity. As he sleeps, his work on the ever-deepening mysteries of his theory gives him dreams. The play consists of a series of these dreams, each set in a different world with its own conventions and rules governing "reality" and "time."

This theatrical adaptation of ALAN LIGHTMAN'S 1993 international best-selling novel about a young Einstein working on his Theory of Relativity and the dreams he has as a result garnered the 2001 FringeNYC Festival"Best Director" award, and was voted "Best Play" at the American College Theatre Festival.

The adaptation was written by
RALF REMSHARDT, DAVID GARDINER and PAUL STANCATO
with a haunting original score by DAVID HOMAN
Directed by PAUL STANCATO, with co-director BRIAN RHINEHART
