Description "The genius of the title is a teenage maths prodigy who, quietly and unaided, calculates the answer to the universe - the equation for the unity of the four forces of nature... The play explores the conflict between the sheer logical beauty of pure knowledge and the horrendous purposes it is [potentially] put to."
