Kres Mersky's one-woman tour-de-force provides humorous and moving insights into the mind and character of the 20th Century's greatest thinker who changed the world by inventing the Theory of Relativity. It's 1934. Einstein has escaped from Nazi Germany with his family and faithful secretary and family retainer named Ellen. A gaggle of guests have gathered at the Einstein home in Princeton, New Jersey to celebrate Einstein's 55th birthday. The problem is the highly eccentric physicist is missing in action and thus a slightly flustered Ellen must hold the fort until the guest of honor arrives.

"A tour-de-force for Mersky. She is truly marvelous." - Daily Variety

“A delightful solo show.  I had the eerie feeling Einstein was a person I just had the privilege of meeting.” – LA Weekly

“A richly funny, warm and thought provoking theatre experience.” – Antelope Valley Press

“Very entertaining…a beautiful portrayal.” – Tolucan Times
