We are delighted to invite you to the reading of "Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle" featuring extraordinary Kim Nelson and David Ferry. This is not a play about a German physicist. Simon Stephens masterfully sets the random encounter between two people at a train station. What follows is a beautiful unfolding of the universe between a 42 years old American woman and a 75 years old British man.
This reading is directed by Stefan Dzeparoski.
Huge thanks to BMO Lab - Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance Studies at U of T for generously supporting this event.
