TheTHEATRE.MACHINE
A Homogeneous Universe of Constant Mass and Growing Radius Accounting for the Radial Velocity of Extragalactic Nebulae
JW3
It takes roughly, a tenth of a second to react. For your eye to obtain an image, your brain to work it out and your body to respond.
A hundred milliseconds.
It feels like nothing.
So, you’re in a club, and the really hot guy you’ve been chatting shit with leans in to kiss you, and you’ve got a tenth of a second to reciprocate or slap the fucker off.
What will you do?
He’s also got a hundred milliseconds to react to that reaction.
And you ask yourself if either of you can ever really know what’s going on if you’re both constantly working in the past? But in the present.
It’s just too short. It feels like nothing.
In the tenth of a second after the Big Bang, all physics broke down and the universe went through roughly four separate epochs… Planck, Grand Unification, Inflationary and Quark. Past, present, future smashed together. Nothing happened, everything happened, everything cooled, everything expanded.
Then physics started working, again.
So, as Adam and Jimmy share the most explosive first kiss of their lives - in that club, after that really crazy fucked up night, as a hundred milliseconds plays out over a lifetime, their past, present and future collide… because this kiss - much like the big bang…redefines physics itself – altering the very nature of time. And in that short perpetual moment Adam remembers an entire future together….

The play was transferred to Trafalgar Studios in London's West End to widespread critical acclaim in Spring 2020.
