A staged reading from our SCIENCE & THEATRE series

Young Isaac Newton desperately wants to become a member of the club of clubs for scientists, the Royal Society. In order to convince Robert Hooke, the institution's curator of experiments, he sticks a needle in his tear duct to proof that light is made of particles. Ouch!!! And if science won't do it there is another way: Hooke keeps a detailed diary of his sex life ...

Isaac's Eye playfully blends the facts of Newton's life with an equal dose of fiction to explore what great people are willing to sacrifice to become great people.
