More than a quarter of a century ago, a slim book by a British physicist became an blockbuster international phenomenon. Steven Hawking’s A Brief History of Time explained in layman’s terms such cosmic imponderables as the Big Bang, black holes, imaginary numbers, and time travel.

A Brief Anniversary of Time celebrates Hawking’s magnificent achievement, but it is also a very personal story of three generations. One person’s struggle with all-too-human questions of love, loss, memory, and time are juxtaposed against the vast, mind-bending wonders of Hawking’s universe. Created in collaboration with a team of artists and scientists and staged in a flat-screen planetarium with 3D projections, the play weaves science and personal narrative in a moving tale that’s part NOVA, part memoire, and part existential crisis machine.
