This captivating, moving, and tuneful musical adaptation of Alan Lightman’s international bestselling novel, Einstein’s Dream, imagines the mind-bending sort of dreams Einstein might have been having during the months prior to the publication of his Special Theory of Relativity. Guided by a mysterious and beautiful woman who appears in each dream, Einstein steps ever closer toward his radical re-imagining of space and time, and at the same time gains a deeper understanding of love than he has ever experienced before.

More than two dozen independent theatrical and musical productions have been based on Einstein's Dreams. This special concert performance is a benefit for The Harpswell Foundation. Lightman founded The Harpswell Foundation in 1999, with a mission to provide education, housing, and leadership training to children and young women in the developing world. All major projects of the Foundation so far have taken place in Cambodia, a country in desperate need after essentially all of its educated class were destroyed by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. In May of 2007, The Harpswell Foundation became an officially registered Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) in Cambodia.
