November 20 - December 14, 2014

Richard Feynman was one of the most curious and colorful personalities of the 20th century. To his students, he was a beloved professor, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, flirt, and unforgettable inspiration. Barrymore Award-winner Peter DeLaurier reprises his role from the Lantern's original 2006 production, capturing Feynman's remarkable spirit in a memorable journey through the greatest mysteries of science and human experience.

"A glowing tribute to a brilliant man! Under M. Craig Getting's animated direction, DeLaurier gives a tour-de-force portrayal of a man who is at once brilliant and eccentric, mature in his intellect and childlike in his enthusiasm (“Remember that everything is interesting")." –Phindie

"A finely tuned portrait of one man's irony." –WHYY NewsWorks

"Peter DeLaurier, reprising his role as Feynman, knows the character from the inside, and his portrayal seems wholly natural: the Bronx honk, fidgety energy of a man in perpetual motion, and unpretentious friendliness." –The Philadelphia Inquirer

"The beauty of Lantern's production lies in the playful relationship that DeLaurier explores between science and nature...this is the kind of theater that I’m eager for more and more." –Philadelphia Weekly

"The writing is brilliant; the acting even more so. This overwhelming performance leads to a riveting experience in the theater. Seven years ago these performances were entirely sold out. Don't miss an opportunity to treat yourself now to a performance of this outstanding production." –Beyond My Backyard
