A Reading of Isaac's Eye by Lucas Hnath

Join us at The Commons for an evening reading of Lucas Hnath’s Isaac's Eye, a compelling theatrical work that imagines the young Isaac Newton as brilliant, obsessive, and fiercely hungry for recognition.

Directed by Joe MacDougall, this reading brings together a cast of local performers for an intimate presentation of a play that blends historical fact and fiction. Set against Newton’s rivalry with Robert Hooke, the story explores ego, invention, and the punishing extremes of scientific ambition.

The play also dramatizes Newton’s painful experiments on his own eyes as he searches to understand light, turning a familiar historical figure into a vivid, unsettling, and darkly funny stage character.
