Eminent mathematician André Weil is on a journey from France to India, Finland and beyond, to discover whether we really have free will or if all our choices are predetermined.
Imprisoned in Rouen during the Second World War, Weil faces a choice that will determine his fate – but his decision just doesn’t make sense. Is life a mathematical theorem of logical strands? Because sometimes it just doesn’t add up!
This production of The Axiom of Choice has been generously supported by Ben Delo, also supported by Dangor Education, Stage One Bursary Scheme for New Producers & Charles and Lisa Simonyi Fund for Arts and Sciences.
