Relativity @ Riverside

10 - 13 May 2023

Our hugely popular production of Relativity by Mark St Germain will
return for a short season at the Riverside Theatres in Parramatta. If you missed this one, you
missed an absolute treat so we’re thrilled to give you five opportunities to catch (or catch
again) Johann Walraven directing Nicholas Papademetriou as the great man Einstein,
Nisrine Amine as Margaret (the journalist) and Alison Chambers as the vacuum-wielding housekeeper.

2023 season

Relativity @ Riverside Theatres

by Mark St.Germain

Directed by Johann Walraven

By arrangement with Music Theatre International Australasia Pty Ltd, on behalf of Dramatists Play Service Inc

In 1902, Albert and Mileva Einstein had a daughter. After 1904, the child was never seen or spoken of again. Many years have passed and now a reporter has come to interview Einstein about his mysterious family history, only to discover far more secrets under the surface. As the reporter questions Einstein about his theory of relativity and personal past, she develops a new, more pressing query: To be a great man, does one first need to be a good man?

Our first play for the 2022 season is “Relativity” by Mark St Germain. This is a playwright who is known for taking real historic figures and putting them in imaginary circumstances and the results are fascinating “what ifs”.

Albert Einstein is the real figure at the centre of this play: an undeniably great man. But what is the difference between “good” and “great”?

Albert Einstein. Undeniable genius. Was he a good man? Do you care? Do you need to be a good man to be a great man? Intelligent script with wit and warmth: Relativity by Mark St Germain is without doubt a great night in the theatre.
