Sunday Play: Insignificance

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Terry Johnson 's playful, philosophical play shrinks the universe to a New York hotel bedroom in 1953, where four icons meet at the height of their fame. Marilyn Monroe explains the specific theory of relativity to a bemused and semi-clad Albert Einstein
, while Joe DiMaggio beats on the bedroom door and Joseph McCarthy wants to ask a question.
Director Hilary Norrish
