MACo Presents Isaac's Eye
Saturday, June 22 at 4pm & Sunday, June 23 at 4pm
in the Byers Studio at Town Hall Theater
To understand light and optics better, young Isaac Newton inserted a long needle “between my eye and the bone, as near to the backside of my eye as I could.” Why take such a risk? Lucas Hnath reimagines the contentious, plague-ravaged world Newton inhabited in ISAAC’S EYE, exploring the dreams and longings that drove the rural farm boy to become one of the greatest thinkers in modern science.
