The Square Root of a Sonnet to be staged this weekend

Directed by Prakash Belawadi, the play The Square Root of a Sonnet will be staged this weekend. The play revolves around a 19-year-old Indian boy named Subramanyan Chandrasekhar, who won the Nobel Prize in 1983. The story is about Chandra and his mentor Arthur Eddington, who was behind the suppression of Chandra’s discovery of black holes. Why did Eddington try to destroy Chandra? The play attempts to answer this question through an exploration of the intriguing and complex relationship between two giants of modern astrophysics – Chandra and Eddington.
The play will be staged at Jagriti Theatre, Whitefield on February 16 and 17 at 8 pm and at February 18 at 3 pm and 6.30 pm.
