The story of Albert Einstein, the curious and rebellious boy who became the world’s most famous scientist and changed the face of science.
Albert Einstein was not always considered a “genius.” As a child, he was considered strange—a boy who asked questions that no one understood and even irritated his teachers. Albert struggled to adapt to the strict German education system at school and often got into trouble with his teachers. His despair grew when, one day, he was to be expelled from school. Albert felt that he belonged nowhere and that his future was bleak.
Only thanks to a few teachers who recognized his unique talent was Albert persuaded not to give up on his great passion for science. He continued to explore and learn, and eventually became the most influential scientist of all time.
The play is presented in collaboration with and with the support of the Davidson Institute for Science Education, Rehovot, and the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
To avoid disrupting the performance and the audience’s enjoyment, children under the age of 3 and strollers will not be permitted to enter the theater performances. Thank you for your understanding!
