QED June 8, 2011

Richard Feynman, the centerpiece of 'QED'--for quantum electro-dynamics--defined the field, and his huge personality fills the stage in this tour de force featuring local actor Gary Ambler. One of the great minds of the past half century prepares for the lecture "What We Know," rehearses for a featured scene in 'South Pacific,' finalizes a report on the Challenger disaster, and guides an eager young student in the early stages of her inquiry into QED. Watching Feynman's quicksilver mind at work is like sitting at the elbow of Pablo Picasso, courtside with the Harlem Globetrotters, or in the front row for a Miles Davis show.
