First performed in 1982 at the Royal Court, London, Insignificance imagines what happens on a hot summer night in 1953 when Albert Einstein is visited in his hotel room by Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Senator Joseph Mcarthy.

In one of the all time great theatre scenes the actress goes on to describe the theory of relativity to the professor using flashlights, helium balloons and a Mickey Mouse toy train.

Defibrillator presented the US premiere of this play in a site-specific venue at the luxurious Langham Place on 5th Avenue, New York City.
