STRINGS is a play of elegant, cutting-edge physics thoroughly entangled with deeply familiar—and unruly—human pain, passion, and desire. On a train enroute to London to attend Copenhagen, a play about physics, two English physicists, upper-class cosmologist George and brilliant working-class String theorist Rory, along with George’s American cosmologist wife (or is she?) June, pursue their complex ideas about physics—a conversation=2 0that barely masks just-below-the-surface deceit and lies. Old Cambridge University classmates George and Rory dig at one another, with June caught in the middle. However, the three characters also unwittingly excavate their scars of jealousy, loss and grief, finally exposing their deepest longings for meaning in a questionably trustworthy universe
