Isaac's Eye at The Garret Theatre

Lucas Hnath reimagines the contentious plague-ravaged world Newtown inhabited in ISAAC'S EYE, exploring the dreams and longings that drove the rural farm boy to become one of the greatest thinkers in modern science. Isaac's Eye is a half-fictional account of the early professional career of famous scientist Isaac Newton. The play imagines that certain choices Newton made, especially in his relationships with others and with himself, dramatically affected his (and therefore our) way of seeing the world.

The play features New York-based performers Reagan Tankersley as Isaac Newton, Kasey O’Brien as Catherine Storer, Isto Barton as Robert Hooke, and Jack Dryden as The Dying Man. Dryden will also direct the project with the help of assistant directors Hannah Adrian and Maysie Ocera.

The Greek Cultural Center and The Garret Theatre present “Isaac's Eye” by Lucas Hnath, which runs September 1st-17th, 2023 at the Greek Cultural Center’s Astoria Playhouse. This play is The Garret Theatre and the Greek Cultural Center's second co-production. It is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatist Play service Collection (Dramatists.com) and the Actors Equity Association.
