Richard Dreyfuss tackles his most complicated role to date - the man behind Einstein's genius

Why See Relativity?

Richard Dreyfuss becomes Albert Einstein

Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss makes a welcome return to the stage as the world's most famous theorist in this new historical fiction play by Mark St. Germain, who previously wrote Freud's Last Session. In what could quite be the world's most accurate casting, Einstein enthusiast Dreyfuss takes on the role of the enigmatic scientist, in a story that takes us behind the chalkboard, and into his family life. The question behind this premise is; do you have to be a good man in order to be a great man?

What is it about?

The story focuses on one of the most mysterious family disappearances known to history, even more compelling than the search for Anastacia Romanov; a year before Einstein married his Serbian wife Mileva, they had a daughter out of wedlock in 1902; however all records of this child have been erased from history after 1904. Their daughter Lieserl was believed to have been shipped off to live with Mileva's parents in war-torn Serbia, and was never heard from again.
Decades later whilst teaching at Princeton University, a journalist sent to interview Einstein happens upon this information about Lieserl, forcing the aging theorist to confront his infamously indifference towards his family, to ponder his daughter's fate.
