About the play:
Eclipse dramatizes the true story of British astrophysicist Sir Arthur Eddington, a conscientious objector during WWI, whose 1919 expedition to photograph a solar eclipse in Africa popularized Einstein’s theory of relativity. Dealing with topics such as science, religion, time, perception, war, love, and duty, this classic story focuses on a mysterious figure whose compelling struggles continue to resonate.
