EINSTEIN’S EYES
a devised comedy

Before he died, the world’s greatest scientist stipulated that he
was to be cremated, ‘so no one will worship at my bones’.
But during an autopsy, his brain and eyes were removed.
The brain is now safe and sound in America. And the eyes...?

“He who can no longer pause to wonder is as good as dead;
his eyes are closed.” (Albert Einstein)

Einstein's Eyes was shown at the
