About the play:
Based upon the recent
discovery at the Princeton University Library of love letters written by
Albert Einstein to his close friend Johanna Fantova, this play delves
into the intense feelings they shared for one another. Einstein’s Secret
Letters explores the great man’s dilemma of isolation and disappointment
at the twilight of his life. The play also explores his humanitarian
efforts and depicts his little known friendship with famed African
American actor and social activist Paul Robeson. In this production, the
startling portrayal of Einstein as a lover, pacifist, and critic of
politics in Post War Israel and the United States are vividly brought to
light.
We are proud to having presented this play with Third Avenue Productions.
