Through a collection of songs, scenes and monologues, The Theory of Relativity introduces a compelling array of characters experiencing the joys and heartbreaks, the liaisons and losses, the inevitability and the wonder of human connection. Bartram and Hill were commissioned to interview a cross-section of college-aged students to see what it is they think about, and this song cycle is the creative outcome as inspired by those stories of love, fear, anxiety and joy.
