Math Whiz

Math seldom looks as rich, intricate and poetic as it does in A Disappearing Number, a terrific play originally produced by award-winning British theatre company Complicite directed by Simon McBurney, a star attraction at this year's Singapore International Festival of Arts.

Ahead of the May/June festival, the National University of Singapore is staging this one-night-only production of A Disappearing Number, directed by one of Singapore's most exciting theatre-makers, Edith Podesta.

Starring Remesh Panicker and Koh Wan Ching, it centres on the true story of Cambridge professor GH Hardy's collaboration with Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught genius from Chennai, beautifully fusing the complexity of human emotions with the mystery of numbers.
