THE STORYLINE
The Theory of Relativity is a joyous and moving musical about our surprisingly interconnected lives. Created by Neil Bartram and Brian Hill, the show presents a seemingly unrelated collection of songs, scenes and monologues and introduces a diverse array of characters. Whether you’re allergic to cats, in love for the first or tenth time, a child of divorce, a germaphobe or simply a unique individual, The Theory of Relativity celebrates the inevitability and the wonder of human connection.
