Gravity March 17, 2010

Purple Rose Theatre Company presents 'Gravity,' a World Premiere work by David MacGregor, directed by Guy Sanville. Experience the humanity and humor of one of history's greatest icons as he grapples with the choice between love and immortality. For centuries, the true nature of the work that engaged Isaac Newton in the years after his 'Principia Mathematica' rocked the world in 1687 lay hidden among trunks of forgotten papers. Based on Newton's actual letters, this play explores his relationship with a mysterious patroness as he pursued the most important work of his life. Newton drove himself relentlessly in pursuit of Truth, riding the delicate line between divinity and madness.
