Written by Esme Somerside Gregory and devised by Oxford student theatre company Cartesian Productions, "Noether" chronicles the life of Emmy Noether, a female, Jewish mathematician working in 20s/30s Germany. Through various sources of verbatim, the play critically examines what it means to be a female-pioneer in a male-dominated field and ultimately asks the question whether much has changed 100 years later.
Runtime: 1hr 10mins with no interval. The performance on Friday 27th February will be followed by an academic panel discussing the play and its background, as well as a drinks reception courtesy of Oxford Physics Gender Equity Network.
Lecture Theatre 2, Mathematical Institute, 25-28 February, 7 pm.
