Hovey Players presents ‘Isaac’s Eye’ by Lucas Hnath

To understand light and optics better, young Isaac Newton inserted a long needle “between my eye and the bone, as near to the backside of my eye as I could.” Why take such a risk? Lucas Hnath reimagines the contentious, plague-ravaged world Newton inhabited in “Isaac’s Eye,” exploring the dreams and longings that drove the rural farm boy to become one of the greatest thinkers in modern science. Performance dates: November 6, 7, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. / November 8, 15 at 2 p.m. Check our website for ticket prices and to purchase tickets.
