Isaac’s Eye

Overview

It might have a rather well-known scientist at its centre but Isaac's Eye is anything but a bland historical drama; it's contemporary, fast-paced and wickedly funny. Lucas Hnath's original and quirky play sees the the young Isaac Newton and his arch nemesis scientist Robert Hooke squabbling the physics of light. How far will Newton go to fulfil his dream of being accepted into the prestigious Royal Society? Will he expose Hooke's darkest secrets or risk losing everything in his quest for dominance?

Isaac’s Eye lays bare the ambitions that drove rural farm boy Isaac Newton to become one of the world's greatest scientific thinkers of the modern era.
