Al Smith's play looks at the fate of three physicists who meet at Oxford and how Time plays a central part in their work and their relationships with devastating consequences.

Directed by Sally Avens

Physicists, Michael and Harry, meet at Oxford; they are hugely competitive both in their work and for the affections of Samantha, a witty American astro physicist. A competitiveness that will drive them all to make extraordinary choices. As we follow their careers we see how the scientific world has made huge leaps in the understanding of matter and time and the consequences of their acts are fully revealed.
