Hailed by the New York Times as “uncommonly entertaining,” The Top Ten People of the Millennium Sing Their Favorite Schubert Lieder is an absurd, hilarious and dark look at the forces that have shaped the last 1,000 years. Einstein, Marx, Galileo and others gather in a salon-like setting, where they argue over timeless themes of truth and beauty and sing the beguiling songs of Schubert.

Join the the Illinois Humanities Council and Goethe Institut (the German Cultural Center in Chicago) at Victory Gardens Theater for a commemoration of Albert Einstein’s revolutionary 1905 papers, and a play that presents a delightfully surprising portrayal of the scientist who changed our understanding of the world.

This play runs through Sunday, September 25th.

For tickets, please visit the Victory Gardens box office at 2257 N Lincoln Ave or call (773) 871-3000. Tickets $5.00. Please note: Victory Gardens Theater has a $2.00 service charge for tickets purchased over the phone.
