In this one-hour interactive performance, George Capaccio invites you to enter the boundary-breaking universe that is the mind of Albert Einstein. You will discover that time and space are inseparable, that time actually slows down the faster you go, and that if you could travel at the speed of light, time would actually stop!

“Albert Einstein: Relatively Speaking”

But there’s a lot more to the story than Einstein’s insights into the nature of reality. George focuses on the great scientist’s very human qualities, including his sense of humor, his fondness for Jewish jokes, and his trials and tribulations as a family man.

As part of the show, you’ll time travel with George on the trajectory of Einstein’s life—from lowly patent clerk in a Swiss office to world-class physicist. And you’ll gain insight into one of his greatest scientific achievements: the special theory of relativity, which overturned long-held views about space and time, and showed how measurements of both are relative to how fast you are moving.

George Capaccio has performed in many of Boston’s theaters, including the American Repertory Theater. For several years, he acted with the Museum of Science’s Science Theater where he performed in the Planetarium as Galileo and in the Theater of Electricity as Nikola Tesla. George’s performing career includes working as a professional storyteller for audiences of all ages.
