QED: A Theatrical Portrait of Maverick Physicist Richard Feynman is available today on Goldstar starting at $5 for tickets for November performance dates.
Theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman was highly respected by his fellow scientists for his work in quantum and particle physics. He was also enormously popular with non-scientists for his work presenting physics topics like nanotechnology and quantum mechanics to the general public in an engaging and understandable way. He was perhaps most well-known for his hilarious collections of anecdotes from his life and work, including the wildly popular Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! This up-close and personal portrait by Peter Parnell relives a day in the life of Mr. Feynman, presenting scenes from both his professional life (working on the Manhattan Project and the Challenger inquiry) to his personal life (the death of his wife and his own fight with cancer). This touching and laugh-out-loud biographical play brings forth the humor, warmth and personality that made Richard Feynman a beloved figure of 20th century science.
