PROGRAM NOTES
FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
In 1905 Albert Einstein released four papers that would make him a household name. Arguably the first celebrity scientist, he had a profound effect on scientific research and would also become the poster boy for scientific genius. Coffee mugs, posters, all manner of kitsch bore his image, and his iconic scientific formula E=mc² came to represent the rocket sled of progress that would see the invention of the radio, antibiotics, airplane flight and the internet. The 20th century was an explosion of scientific creativity, for good or ill. And in many ways Albert Einstein was the father of much of this innovation. He was the father of several children as well. But being a father, a husband, and the century’s most celebrated scientist was an uncomfortable fit. For yes, he was also a sex symbol with mistresses and romantic pursuers aplenty. The responsibility of fatherhood and marriage was not his primary focus and in many ways (like many men and women who are in the forefront of their fields) the distraction of family became an impediment to his work. I know for myself, that by performing in plays at night I missed a number of holidays, a game or two, and many a night of reading Goodnight Moon. As I experience our grandchildren’s early years I’m struck by how much Join the I’ve forgotten about our own children’s upbringing. In the blur of parenting and career the details get fuzzy. Fortunately, the proof for Candy and me is neighborhood gratifying. Our children are amazing, kind, generous human beings that make us proud every day. For celebrities, balancing work and family must be a constant dinner party. challenge and value judgement. For Einstein, the challenge of being a great man and a good parent might have been too tough an equation to prove. Taking on the iconic Einstein for us is Mike Nussbaum, who also happens to be In our neighborhood, dinner is a time when friends get together to enjoy Northlight’s first Artistic Director (originally founded as The Evanston Theatre Company) in 1975. He starred in its first production,Jumpers by Tom Stoppard, engaging stories and culinary delights. At both our fine dining and casual directed by two-time Tony winner Frank Galati. It was an auspicious beginning for a theatre company at the dawn of the theatre movement here in Chicago.

Here in Chicago, he’s the Godfather of acting. I’ve been on stage with him, I’ve been directed by him and I’ve directed him—though inspired dishes and good friends create a dining experience that is perhaps that is too presumptuous a thing to say given his gifts. It’s a privilege to be in the room with him as he crafts a performance. delicious and delightful. Schedule a visit today. Mike and I played in Northlight’s Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me in 1994. In the second act Mike and I were alone onstage for an hour, chained to a wall, as prisoners of an anonymous war. I spoke, he spoke; I sang, he sang; I hopped like a bunny, and he responded in kind. Two actors talking and reacting to each other, simply, honestly, truly. It extended for most of that summer. He directed not by the usual means, but by example. I grew up as an actor in that production. When Mark St. Germain sent Mike this script, he read it and told him to “send it to BJ.” I am profoundly grateful for this gesture of faith and friendship, and for the gift of working with Mike again. We are privileged to see this artistic genius portray the 20th century’s preeminent scientific genius. And it’s fitting to have him back at the theatre he started. 2323 McDaniel Avenue • Evanston, Illinois For Martha - BJ Jones 847-563-4855 • www.threecrownspark.com NORTHLIGHT THEATRE | 5

PROGRAM NOTES
FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT
In 1902, Albert and Mileva Einstein had a baby daughter. After 1904, she was never seen or spoken of again.
Immediately after reading this, I knew I’d be attempting to write a play to ask, “Why?”
The existence of Lieserl Einstein only became public knowledge after Einstein’s death with the discovery of letters between him and his first wife, Mileva. Their daughter was born, their daughter contracted scarlet fever, and her parents worried about what would become of her.
After that, mystery.
In her book, Einstein’s Daughter, artist and author Michele Zackheim tried to find the definitive answer to this question without success. Instead, she found many theories Einstein scholars developed after learning of Lieserl’s existence. She was adopted by the Savić family, friends of the Einsteins. She entered a convent. She lived a long life in California never knowing who her birth parents were. She died of scarlet fever.
The last possibility I discounted.
When learning from London colleagues that a young woman was introducing herself as his daughter, Einstein didn’t dismiss her as he would a child who had died. Instead, he hired a private investigator. The only reason to employ the detective, I thought, had to be that Einstein was unsure if it was Lieserl – that she lived.
With that thought, I began developing my own scenario of events which were the foundation of my play Relativity and researching the genius whose dark sides were never seen by most people who held him in awe.
Is Relativity conclusive? Only dramatically. Will we ever have a definite answer? Albert Einstein answers that in his own words:
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
But I keep in mind one more Einstein quote, even as I write this:
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
– Mark St. Germain

BEHIND THE CELEBRITY OF ALBERT EINSTEIN BY NATHAN FERGUSON, DRAMATURGY ASSISTANT EDITED BY LAUREN SHOUSE AND FRANCISCO LOPEZ
In 1922 the city of Ulm in Württemberg, Germany, also known as the birthplace of the legendary Albert Einstein, chose to honor the renowned scientist by christening a then incomplete road with his name: Einsteinstrasse. However the road was not yet finished when the Nazis came to power and the street was instead named Fichtestrasse after a famous philosopher. When the decision was made to revert the name back in 1945, Einstein remarked that they shouldn’t bother: “just call it something prosaic, like Windfahnenstrasse (Weathervane Street).” Such was the life of Albert Einstein. Every move he made after he became famous was fraught with politics Earliest Known Photo of and celebrity, which he famously resisted. Albert Einstein Born in 1879, Einstein’s parents were secular middle-class Jews. His father worked as an electrical engineer and his mother ran the family household. Einstein’s early years were deeply marked with curiosity, preferring to play alone with building blocks and puzzles. Though Albert had an inquisitive mind, he did not enjoy his schooling at Luitpold-Gymnasium. Albert found the school system strict and authoritarian; it did not match his independent-thinking personality. “To me, the worst thing is for a school principally to work with the methods of fear, force and artificial authority. Such treatment destroys the sound sentiments, the sincerity and the self- confidence of the pupil,” Einstein would later write. Still, Albert mostly excelled in his schooling with above-average grades in mathematics and physics. He did, however, struggle in foreign languages. Einstein’s affinity to the sciences led him to question his strongly held religious beliefs. At an early age he began studying religious instruction in primary school and at home was taught lessons in the Jewish tradition. But by the age of 12 he often questioned the miraculous events depicted in the Bible and his “deep religiosity” came to an abrupt end. Mileva and with her children Hans Albert and Eduard In 1894, Albert’s family moved to Pavia, Italy, near Milan, after his father decided to abandon his electrical company when it failed to attract a much-needed contract. So as to not disrupt his education at Gymnasium, the family decided to leave Albert

in Germany with a relative. Albert soon grew restless and lonely and quit school without his parents’ permission. He then moved in with his parents and began to take steps to renounce his German citizenship.
At the age of 16, Albert applied to the Swiss Federal Polytechnic University. Though he failed several exams based on his weaker subjects, his scores in math and science encouraged professors to recommend him to finish his Gymnasium work in nearby Aarau. A year later, he absolved his German citizenship and was free to enroll at the Polytechnic as Swiss. There he met his future wife Mileva and in 1903, married her against the wills of both of their families. They had three children: Lieserl (1902, whose fate is unknown), Hans Albert (1904) and Eduard (1910).
In 1905, often called Einstein’s “miracle year,” he published four papers in the Annalen der Physick, each of which would alter the course of modern physics. At first these papers were largely ignored by the physics community, but Albert’s renown grew after gaining the attention of Max Planck, the founder of the quantum theory. After many prestigious job offers he moved to Prague (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) to accept a position as chair of a German University. There was however, one stipulation to this position: in order to take the requisite oath of service, one had to profess a religion. Einstein had already submitted his paperwork Einstein in his Princeton office in 1950 as konfessionslos, or without denomination. It was then that Einstein, as far as official papers were concerned, became a Jew. Though born Jewish, he had distanced himself from the religion since childhood.
Meanwhile, his marriage to Mileva fell apart due to years of living separately, Einstein’s libido, and his desire for solitude. The marriage effectively ended in 1914 when Albert began working in Berlin, accepting a research post at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (under the stipulation that he not be required to become a citizen). His divorce to Mileva, however, would not come until five years later.
In 1917 Einstein became sick, suffering from various diseases resulting in a general weakness. Throughout this time, he was under the loving care of his cousin Elsa Loewenthal. Convinced that his marriage was doomed, he began an affair with Elsa and on June 2, 1919 they married.

PROGRAM NOTES
In Berlin, Einstein was reaching an ever wider audience and had even more opportunities to speak out politically in favor of pacifism and internationalism. However, this put him at risk as the Nazi party was emerging as a political force. By the end of the decade, he, Elsa, and Elsa’s daughters made a publicity trip to the US. In 1933, they decided to stay, after Hitler was elected and enacted legislation to keep Jews from holding official positions.
The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University offered Einstein a position and told him to name his salary. The amount that he named had to be doubled, as he had far underestimated Einstein and Elsa what they expected to pay— the University felt it was not right to pay the other professors more than him. At Princeton, Albert could have seclusion when he wanted, speak out when he wanted, and sleep around with whom he wanted. Ultimately, research ended up somewhat on the backburner in his later years. Through letters and carefully planned publicity opportunities, he continued to be an activist for civil rights in the US, Zionism in Israel, and nuclear non-proliferation after the war ended. In March 1950 he declared his will, making his secretary Helen Dukas and Dr. Otto Nathan his executors. His death in 1955 came somewhat peacefully; he was alreadyCOLOR Einstein in New York in 1921 resigned to his mortality and distant GREENDALE HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE PRESENTS

Support the arts by supporting Northlight Theatre. It’s more important now than ever!
Arts organizations, including Northlight, continue to experience reductions in funding. And yet, the arts are fundamental to our humanity and our community.* Here’s why:
• Arts unify communities. 62% across all demographic and economic categories agree that the arts “help me understand other cultures better.”
• Arts improve academic performance for those who need it most. Research validates that low socio-economic status students who participate in arts education have even greater increases in academic performance, college acceptance rates, and college completion than students in other socio-economic categories.
• Arts strengthen the economy. The arts and culture sector represents 4.2% of the nation’s GDP.
• Arts spark creativity and innovation. Creativity is among the top 5 skills sought by business leaders with 72% saying “creativity is of high importance when hiring.”
Less than 5% of all philanthropic contributions are directed to arts and culture and that percentage is expected to decrease even further in 2018. But your donation—in any amount—can play an important role. Donate now at northlight.org.
