Mathematics of the Heart de Kefi Chadwick

Mathematics of the Heart: Modern Plays

Autor Kefi Chadwick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2012
What happens when love doesn't add up?Dr Paul MacMillan is a professor of Chaos Theory. Specialist subject: storm patterns. A month after the death of his father, Paul's life has ground to a halt. With his itinerant ne'er do well brother, Chancer, in his spare room, his girlfriend Emma pushing for a future and the arrival of a beautiful new PhD student, Zainab, prediction is proving increasingly difficult. Then the discovery of his father's final and surprise possession catapults Paul's world into real chaos.Intelligent, witty and sincere, this drama combines strong emotion with knowing humour and a cleverly relevant academic backbone, whereby scientific theories rebound themes and motifs, and inform the characters' apparently random decisions and actions.Mathematics of the Heart won the Brighton Fringe Festival New Writing South Best New Play 2011 andthe Evening Argus 'Outstanding Artistic Contribution' Award 2011.

Recenzii

A poignant and tender story... as funny as it was moving.
Smart, diverting little family drama laced with sexual politics.
A balance between brittle humour and broody thoughtfulness.
Brims with vitality and acuity, resulting in a pleasing and pertinent play about the nature of rivalry and relationships.
A beautifully written piece, poignant, observant and emotionally engaging.
A funny, sharp and often moving play by Kefi Chadwick, directed with great pace and energy by Donnacadh O'Briain.
It was full of pace, fun and with some nice twists and turns that made the 90 minutes (without interval) seem to fly by. Highly recommended.
Genuinely on the edge of my seat..completely engaging.
Chadwick understands what can make good, dynamic theatre.
It was full of pace, fun and with some nice twists and turns..Highly recommended.
