| Summary | A brilliant and magnetic American is in academic exile at a rainy English Midlands university because he refused to work for the Pentagon. His inability to confront the moral and ethical implications of his discoveries leave him unable to work. Then he meets a first year mathematics student, who can do the equations he has been trying to hide from: she has worked them out for herself. Together they struggle to deny science's imperative for progress, and stare in horror at the momentous power which they have articulated. 'The Genius' was first performed in 1983 at the Royal Court Theatre, London. |
