About the show
The Theory of Relativity is a musical from the Amity Creative Theater, written by Neil Bartram and Brian Hill. A joyous and moving look at our surprisingly interconnected lives, the show unfolds through a seemingly unrelated collection of songs, scenes and monologues, introducing a compelling array of characters experiencing the joys and heartbreaks, liaisons and losses, and the inevitability and wonder of human connection. Running 80 minutes at Auditorium, it is suitable for audiences aged 8 and over, and tickets are £7.
Why see this show?
A warmly constructed musical that trusts its audience to find themselves somewhere in its web of characters. The Theory of Relativity is inviting, joyful and quietly moving — the kind of show that reminds you what musical theatre can do at its best.
