Actor, writer, presenter, comedian and two-time Olivier Award winner Griff Rhys Jones stars as Albert Einstein in James Graham's funny and achingly moving play shining light on one of history's most enduring figures.
Albert Einstein is not feeling too good. His house is empty, his cat is missing, he can't remember where he put his violin and he is slowly driving himself insane as he struggles to solve the unanswerable question: Did I do the right thing?
When a family friend comes to visit, a warm reunion soon becomes an explosive collision of opposing beliefs on the subjects of evil, the winning of wars, and the construction of the world's first weapon of mass destruction, the atomic bomb.
Albert's Boy was the second play written by James Graham who has gone on to be one of the nation's most celebrated playwrights and screenwriters (This House; Ink; Dear England; The Crown; Quiz; Sherwood) and in 2026 won the Olivier Award for Best New Play (Punch).
Griff Rhys Jones stars alongside stage and screen favourite Joe Absolom (EastEnders, Doc Martin), in this new production directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Terry Johnson.
