I've been lucky enough to have been invited (and paid!) to work with "The Two Steves" on a new Australian theatre piece. It's a One-Man Show they have been working on for a few years. I've been helping out for the last two months.
It's loosely based on the experience and theories of Kurt Godel, a mathematical logician and friend of Albert Einstein. Like many people with intense creative ability and great minds, he was ... well .... a bit unusual -- a mathematical wild child! Definitely great material for theatre!
The work is logics, maths and the human experience embodied onstage. Of course it's fascinating!
The Gush: (an utterly sincere and honest one!)
It's been really exciting to work on a project with so much potential. It's so well written and well acted. The Steves are lovely!
We open a short season this Wednesday night as a part of a development program sponsored by the LA MAMA Theatre.
Wish us luck!
