Pencil This In

THEATER: Strings, a new play by Carole Bugge, is loosely based on a real-life train ride in which American physicists Burt Ovrut, Paul Steinhardt and English physicist Neil Turok tweaked the Big Bang theory – and changed it forever. In Bugge’s version, three fictionalized characters – physicist George, his cosmologist wife June and string theorist Rory – spend the trip arguing physics and examining old scars of jealousy and infidelity. En route, the trio is visited by three famous dead scientists: Isaac Newton, Marie Curie and Max Planck. The role of George is played by Keir “Just what do you think you’re doing?” Dullea, who was Dave in Kubrick’s 2001. - John Del Signore
