Specificatii
(Applause Books). QED is a seductive mix of science, human
affections, moral courage and comic eccentricity... not to be
missed.`` John Simon, New York Magazine The play itself is a kind
of proof, dramatically illustrating how a man who happens to be a
genius elegantly and movingly works through the human problem of
how to face the end of his life.`` Nancy Franklin, The New Yorker
With a moving and powerful introduction from Alan Alda. Who knew
that quantum electrodynamics could make for a dramatic read? In the
hands of the late, great physicist Richard Feynman, it does.
Feynman's theory of QED is just one of the many topics the
playwright Peter Parnell explores in this nearly-one-man show, a
recent Broadway triumph for star Alan Alda as Feynman. Set in
Feynman's office on the weekend of his realization that he has
terminal cancer, this play is an intellectual tour-de-force that
captures the unique, hilarious, and puckish genius that Feynman
was. From his work on the Manhattan Project to the death of his
beloved first wife, from his mission to reconstruct the Challenger
space shuttle tragedy to his Nobel-prize winning physics ideas, the
resume of Feynman's life is fascinating. But Parnell gives us more,
letting fill in the details of his life. When he reads a letter he
wrote to his wife after her death, or flirts with a student, or
chillingly recalls walking around Manhattan calculating the damage
an atomic bomb could do, we grow to love the man behind the
scientist. And we read in fascination as he puzzles out the problem
of his own death. Combining the current interest in science and
math in the entertainment world with one of the most entertaining
scientists in U. S. history, QED is a tour-de-force.
