Noether, a new play by Esme Somerside Gregory

The most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began - Albert Einstein on Emmy NoetherWritten by Esme Somerside Gregory, Noether is the product of years of research into the life and work of seminal mathematician Emmy Noether. Noethers work laid the groundwork for a huge amount of modern mathematics and physics. But the path to her theorem was paved with resistance and pushbacks. A Jewish German woman working at the University of Gttingen from 1920-1933, Noether faced immense difficulty.Noether grapples with this, chronicling her remarkable life using various sources of verbatim and critically examining what it means to be a female pioneer in a male-dominated field. The play uses physical theatre and multimedia projections to bring Noethers story to life, marrying theoretical physics and drama in a gripping presentation of an undercelebrated genius. First staged in the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, the play has since been revisited and revised, benefitting from archival research at the University of Gttingen. Presented by Oxford student theatre company Cartesian Productions, working with the Oxford University Drama Society National Tour.Praise for Noether in Oxford:
