Insignificance
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.

The combination of politics, sex, brute strength and knowledge makes for a combustible mixture… well played and well-staged.
See Insignificance as soon as possible. Do not miss out on this rare opportunity to see important theatre performed in the most intimate of spaces.
Transports you through time and space and leaves you- like the best of theatre- looking at the world entirely anew.
A well acted, intimate gathering.
