ISAAC NEWTON WAS ONE WEIRD DUDE! As a young man, he stuck a long needle
through his tear duct all the way to the back of his eye. And then he
moved it around! -- for real!  No one now knows why or what he was trying
to prove by this risky experiment.

Lucas Hnath has used this weird factoid, along with lots of other actual
historical facts, and a whole bunch of made-up stuff involving Isaac and
the shockingly lecherous scientist Sir Robert Hooke, to create a highly
original and truly quirky look at what drove the troubled rural farm boy,
Isaac, to
become one of the world’s greatest thinkers.

Isaac’s Eye runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through April 11 at the Liminis theater,
2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12
seniors, $10 students.  Reservations and information are available at
http://www.convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.
