Everything but the Brain is an emotionally charged play that masterfully weaves science, love, and the fragility of time. The story follows Elaine, a brilliant but emotionally conflicted physics teacher, as she grapples with the imminent decline of her beloved father, who has suffered a stroke. As Elaine contemplates Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and the nature of time as she embarks on a desperate mission to turn back the clock and save her father from the irreversible effects of aging.
Through wit, heartbreak, and humour, the play explores the complexities of familial love, the inevitability of loss, and our desire to control time.
